Filling mining is an important direction in green coal mining. In the filling site, a layered filling body can be formed due to technological problems. In this paper, we take Shanghe Coal Mine (Shaanxi Province, China) as the background. In order to explore the mechanical properties and failure modes of layered backfill, specimens with different layered proportions (1:1, 1:3, 3:1) were made and studied concerning the aspects of wave velocity, porosity, strength and failure modes. The experimental result demonstrates that with the increase of curing time and fly ash (FA) content, the wave velocity of ASPLB decreases the porosity and the strength increases. In addition, the layered structure has a significant effect on the strength and failure mode of the specimen. Uniaxial compression experiments showed that after 28 days of curing with Ratio III, the strength of layered backfill (LB) was reduced by 14% and the strength of 3:1 LB was increased by 16.7% and 40% compared with 1:1 LB and 1:3 LB, respectively. A digital speckle experiment showed that the failure mode of ASPLB is a vertical fracture without penetration, and the fracture propagation of layered ASPLB is hindered by the stratification. Based on the above research, the scheme that meets the requirements of the Shanghe Coal Mine is determined, and its reliability is verified, providing guidance for scientific stratification and the filling of gob.
