Abstract

Aiming at the problem of mining coal resources under the Yuxing Mine Ecological Park in Inner Mongolia, China, we adopted a continuous mining and continuous backfilling (CMCB) cemented-fill mining method; based on the systematic description of the mining and backfilling craft of the CMCB mining process, comprehensive use of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and similar simulation test methods to analyze the control mechanism of overlying strata. By establishing the mechanical model of roof movement for the CMCB mining, the roof deflection curve equation is deduced, and the roof instability criterion is put forward based on the maximum tensile stress criterion. Numerical simulation showed that the stress curve at the shallow part of the roof fluctuates up and down in a “w” shape, the stress curve of the upper surrounding rock sinks slowly, and the coal pillars and filling bodies are alternately loaded during the staged mining process to jointly limit the movement of the overlying strata. The similar simulation test results showed that the roof has no structural damage, the roof cracks are not obvious, and the overlying strata control effect is good. On site tests showed that the CMCB mining method can effectively limit the movement of the overlying rock in the stope, control the surface subsidence of the ecological park, and increase the recovery rate of coal resources. It can provide a reference for the development of coal resources and ecological protection in a fragile environment.
