Abstract

Abstract : Slip and instability of coal-rock parting-coal structure (CRCS) subjected to excavation disturbance can easily induce coal-rock dynamic phenomena in deep coal mines. In this paper, the failure characteristics and influencing factors of CRCS slip and instability were investigated by theoretical analysis, numerical simulations, and field observations. The following main results are addressed: (1) the slip and instability of CRCS induced by excavation are due to stress release, and the damage of the rock parting is partitioned into three parts: shear failure zone, slipping zone, and splitting failure zone from inside to outside with slip; (2) the slip and instability process of CRCS is accompanied by initiation, expansion, and intersection of shear and tensile cracks. The development of the cracks is dominated by shear behaviour, while the tensile crack is the main factor affecting fracture and instability of CRCS; and (3) slip and instability of CRCS are characterized by stick-slip first and then stable slip, accompanied with high P-wave velocity and rockburst danger coefficient based on microseismic tomography.
