Distribution Law of Mine Ground Pressure via a Microseismic Sensor System

Abstract

The particularity of the occurrence conditions of the ore body in Xianglushan Tungsten Mine determines the mining form of the ore body and the particularity of the ground pressure distribution after mining. A large number of mined-out areas, supporting pillars, and natural and human factors have formed a comprehensive disaster environment. This can lead to frequent disasters, great harm, serious economic losses, and the necessity of severe environmental protection operations in the mine. This study aims to establish a microseismic monitoring system according to the actual needs of the site and to reveal the law of ground pressure manifestation by analyzing the distribution characteristics of microseismic events; to analyze the occurrence stability of the goaf; further verify it laterally; and finally, demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the microseismic monitoring sensor system. In view of the current ground pressure problem in Xiangxuoshan tungsten mine, the stress change characteristics during dynamic mining and filling were obtained through comparative analysis of different perspectives such as surface change, energy release, and mining loudness, and key areas were identified to improve the reliability of underground ground pressure monitoring. The results show that the process of deposit destabilization caused by ore body mining can be further analyzed by microseismic monitoring, and the combination of surface settlement, mining intensity, and energy release can verify the accuracy of stress distribution and ground pressure transfer. In turn, the general reliability of underground ground pressure hazard warning is empirically improved.

“…Yugay et al [3] have developed a fiber optic sensor for monitoring pressure variations in mine support elements fiber optic systems will increase the share of mining automation, reduce the share of manual labor, and eliminate measurement errors associated with human factors. Zhou et al [4] establish a microseismic monitoring system according to the actual needs of the site and to reveal the law of ground pressure manifestation by analyzing the distribution characteristics of microseismic events; to analyze the occurrence stability of the goaf; further verify it laterally; and finally, demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the microseismic monitoring sensor system. Although in-depth research on mine pressure monitoring and prediction has been carried out at home and abroad, most existing mine pressure monitoring methods are top-plate mine pressure monitoring.…”
