To prevent coal mine roof water damage, the water generally
needs to be evacuated in advance. It can be mined with the water inrush
risk assessed as safe. However, a single index is often employed in
the water safety evaluation after the roof drainage, which causes
a large gap between the evaluation results and the actual situation.
Therefore, the evaluation cannot be effectively used to guide the
safety mining in the working face. In this paper, based on the hydrogeological
data of the Liangshuijing coal mine, a multifactor water inrush risk
assessment model (IAHP-EWM) and multifactor index system are established
for assessing the water inrush risk before and after the roof drainage.
The improved AHP method and the entropy weight method are adopted
in the model to determine the index weight. This combined way avoids
the excessive subjectivity and objectivity of the index weight. A″
Fold undulation degree (
F

)″ is
innovatively proposed to quantify the impact of the spatial relief
of folds on water inrush in the multifactor index system. The IAHP-EWM
model is applied to evaluate the risk of roof water inrush in the
42205 working face of the Liangshuijing coal mine. The evaluation
results show that the water inrush risk is ″high″ when the
water is not dredged, and the water inrush risk is ″low″
after the water is dredged, which are consistent with the actual water
inflow data and evaluation results, which verifies the accuracy of
the model. The application results of the IAHP-EWM model in the 42202,
42203, and 42204 working faces verify its universal applicability
in the Liangshuijing mining area. It can provide a reference for the
evaluation of the roof water damage control effect during coal seam
mining.
