Multiple roadways are opened to solve the difficulties in gas control in the high seam working face of high gassy mines, resulting in a large width of coal pillars between roadway groups. Moreover, recovering coal pillars is challenging during stoping, which causes serious resource waste. While the size of coal pillars is optimized, the reasonable horizon layout of roadway groups is performed to ensure a fine recovery rate of coal resources, mine safety, and efficient production. Theoretical analysis was applied to calculate the stress distribution of surrounding rocks around coal pillars based on the engineering practice of the W2302 working face in the Sihe Coal Mine. The MathCAD software Prime 2.0 combined with the on-site measured stress was used to draw the stress distribution under different coal pillar widths, which can derive the stress distribution data of the floor. The vertical stress concentration factors tended to be consistent at 10 m below the coal pillars and about 12 m from the centerline of coal pillars under different coal pillar widths, this area was suitable for the layout of floor rock roadways with a stress concentration factor of about 1. Numerical simulations were used to compare the stress distributions of the roadway floor and the deformation features of surrounding rocks under different coal pillar widths. The coal pillar width was finally determined to be 45 m, which optimized the size of coal pillars. The return air roadways were arranged at 9.8 m below the coal seam combined with the strata distribution on-site. According to the industrial test on-site, the return air roadways were available during the service period, which showed reliable theoretical analysis and simulation results. A reasonable horizon layout of return air roadways can provide a scientific basis and reference for similar projects.

In order to reasonably evaluate the risk of rock bursts in mines, the factors impacting rock bursts and the existing grading criterion on the risk of rock bursts were studied. By building a model of hierarchic analysis method, the natural factors, technology factors, and management factors that influence rock bursts were analyzed and researched, which determined the degree of each factor’s influence (i.e., weight) and comprehensive index. Then the grade of rock burst risk was assessed. The results showed that the assessment level generated by the model accurately reflected the actual risk degree of rock bursts in mines. The model improved the maneuverability and practicability of existing evaluation criteria and also enhanced the accuracy and science of rock burst risk assessment.

According to complex geological conditions of working face E1108 in Xin-ji mine #2, loading and running characteristic of hydraulic support, influence of depression angle on mining pressure behaviors, as well as relation between advancing speed and the support loading were measured and analyzed. The results indicate that depression angle is inversely proportional to support resistance, in other words, larger depression angle area coincides with lower support resistance area. Moreover, support resistance is generally high when working face advancing speed is slow. Technologies for controlling hydraulic support stability such as improving advancing speed properly, controlling mining height and increasing support resistance are put forward based on research.Keywords: diclinic working face; large depression angle; running characteristic of support; stability of support Z uwzględnieniem złożonych warunków geologicznych w scianie E1108 w kopalni Xin-Ji #2 dokonano pomiarów i analiz obciążenia i działania podpór hydraulicznych, zbadano wpływ kąta depresji na wielkość ciśnienia poziomu wydobywczego, a także zależność pomiędzy szybkością posuwania się na przodku i obciążeniem podpór. Wyniki analiz wskazują, że kąt depresji jest odwrotnie proporcjonalny do wytrzymałości podpory. Przy większych wartościach kąta depresji mamy do czynienia z obszarem gdzie wytrzymałość podpór jest niższa. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, wytrzymałość podpory jest zazwyczaj wysoka dla niewielkich prędkości posuwania się na przodku. W pracy przedstawiono metody kontroli stabilności podpór hydraulicznych poprzez regulację szybkości posuwania się przodka, regulację wysokości wybierania oraz poprzez zwiększenie wytrzymałości podpór.Słowa kluczowe: przodek nachylony, kąty depresji, charakterystyka pracy podpory hydraulicznej, stabilność podpory
