Mining height was 3.8 m and the top coal caving height was 11.2 m. The gateroad pillar between panels was 38 m. During retreat mining,serious bumps occurred in the gateroads on both sides of the pillar affecting safety production. Therefore,pillarless mining was experimented. Using numerical modeling and comparative study of cases of similar mining condition,it was decided to employ a 6 m wide pillar,rather than the previous 38 m wide pillar.Support system for the gateroads was designed and implemented. During gateroad development,pillar failure conditions and entry deformation were monitored. Hydraulic fracturing method was employed to cut off the K3 sandstone along the entry rib so as to reduce the abutment pressure induced during retreat mining. Support reinforcement method combining grouting and advanced reinforcement methods was proposed to insure stable gateroad ahead of mining. Methane drainage and nitrogen injection were implemented to eliminate hazards associated with mine fire and spontaneous combustion. Since the development of gateroad has just completed,and retreat mining has not begun,the effectiveness of the proposed methods is unknown at this point. However,monitoring will continue until after mining.The results will be published in a separate paper.展开更多
Roof bolt support system has been widely applied in the No.7, 9 seam in Caozhuang coal mine. However, it has not been able to be applied in the No.10-2 seam since the small interburden （2 m） between No.9 and No.10-2...Roof bolt support system has been widely applied in the No.7, 9 seam in Caozhuang coal mine. However, it has not been able to be applied in the No.10-2 seam since the small interburden （2 m） between No.9 and No.10-2 seam. The No.9 and No.10-2 seams are contiguous seams. The No.9 seam has been mined out and the No.10-2 seam will be mined under the gob of the No.9 seam. The roof strata of the No.10-2 seam may have been weakened and fractured due to the shear failure caused by the No.9 seam mining activities. The steel beam sets spaced at 0.8 m have been used to support the entry of the No.10-2 seam. In order to speed up the advance rate and cut entry development cost, a test area, using roof bolt in conjunction with truss-system, was successfully conducted. This paper presents the support system design, application of designed system, and the test results. Test results provide a cheaper, quicker, and safer way to support entry for the No.10-2 seam.展开更多
