To study the effect of loading rate on mechanical properties and acoustic emission characteristics of coal samples, collected from Sanjiaohe Colliery, the uniaxial compression tests are carried out under various levels of loading rates, including 0.001 mm/s, 0.002 mm/s, and 0.005 mm/s, respectively, using AE-win E1.86 acoustic emission instrument and RMT-150C rock mechanics test system. The results indicate that the loading rate has a strong impact on peak stress and peak strain of coal samples, but the effect of loading rate on elasticity modulus of coal samples is relatively small. When the loading rate increases from 0.001 mm/s to 0.002 mm/s, the peak stress increases from 22.67 MPa to 24.99 MPa, the incremental percentage is 10.23%, and under the same condition the peak strain increases from 0.006191 to 0.007411 and the incremental percentage is 19.71%. Similarly, when the loading rate increases from 0.002 mm/s to 0.005 mm/s, the peak stress increases from 24.99 MPa to 28.01 MPa, the incremental percentage is 12.08%, the peak strain increases from 0.007411 to 0.008203, and the incremental percentage is 10.69%. The relationship between acoustic emission and loading rate presents a positive correlation, and the negative correlation relation has been determined between acoustic emission cumulative counts and loading rate during the rupture process of coal samples.

In order to study the dynamic characteristics and microseismic distribution in the mining process of roadway with high gas and wide coal pillar, combined with the two dynamic events of N2105 working face in Yuwu Coal Industry, theoretical analysis and field measurement research were carried out. According to the theory of structural mechanics and geomechanics, the causes of dynamic appearance are analyzed. Combined with the specific situation, the influence of mining depth, coal pillar width, gas pressure, and content on the dynamic performance is analyzed. Stress monitoring and microseismic monitoring are carried out on one side of coal seam. The results show that, with the increase of the mining distance, the backside roof of the goaf is prone to unbalanced fracture due to the lack of lateral stress, and the impact pressure generated is used for the reserved protective coal pillar behind the goaf, causing the floor heave of coal seam. The combined stress generated by the anticlinal structure below the working face interacts with the abutment pressure of the working face to produce superposition effect, which promotes the occurrence of dynamic appearance. The critical depth of rock burst in Yuwu Coal Industry is about 600m. The increase of coal elastic energy caused by roof subsidence is more uniform with the increase of coal pillar width. The decrease of gas pressure in coal seam promotes the rock burst disaster. The vertical stress of coal seam at one side of the working face shows different evolution characteristics along the trend and strike. The vertical stress of coal seam in the lateral range of 53 m is adjusted to different degrees and tends to be stable until 300 m behind the working face. The active microseismic area in the middle of the working face was located 50 m in front of the working face, and the microseismic activity continued to 30–50 m behind the working face. The active microseismic area at the side of the roadway was located 30 m in front of the working face, and the microseismic activity continued to 100–180 m behind the working face. The inflection point, where the stress in the elastic area of coal pillar increases sharply, corresponds to the active microseismic area, which indicates that the dynamic characteristics in the mining process of roadway with high gas and wide coal pillar are related to the distribution law of microseismic. This study has a certain guiding significance for optimizing the width of reserved coal pillar, monitoring the coal seam stress/microseismic, and understanding the dynamic disaster of coal and rock under complex conditions.

In order to scientifically guide the water-preserved mining of the coal seam floor and make up for the shortcomings in the conventional evaluation of water blocking performance of the coal seam floor, according to the system resilience theory, the difference between the vulnerability and resilience of the coal seam floor is analyzed, and three elements and nine indicators for evaluating water resistance toughness of the coal seam floor are determined. In the evaluation process, first of all, the maximum difference normalization method is used to conduct a dimensionless analysis of quantifiable indicators to determine the importance of the corresponding indicators, and the AHP software yaahp10.1 is used to determine the weight vector of each indicator. Secondly, the single-factor membership degree is determined according to the single-factor resilience grade classification criterion and membership function and finally combined with the weight vector for fuzzy synthesis calculation and comprehensive evaluation. The model is applied to a specific project. Research has shown that in the water hazard threat area of No. 10 coal seam floor in Jiegou Coal Mine, Anhui Province, the performance of system vulnerability elements is weak, the performance of system recoverability elements is better, and the performance of system adaptability elements is extremely poor. From the perspective of the whole life cycle, determining the treatment target area, optimizing the rock formation modification and repairing materials, and enhancing the water resources carrying capacity can improve the water resistance toughness of the coal seam floor. Related conclusions verify the effectiveness of the evaluation model. Furthermore, an optimized strategy for coal seam floor water retention mining is proposed: the technology system of water-preserved mining for coal seam floor contains 3 stages and 3 detections, which provides a scientific basis for the in situ protection of high-pressure limestone water from coal seam floor.
