Abstract

Abstract : With the continuous increase in the mining depth of underground mineral resources, the geological conditions encountered in mining have become more complex. The complex geological conditions have led to varying degrees of roof damage, especially the frequent occurrence of roof collapse accidents in metal mines, causing huge losses to mining enterprises. How to evaluate the risk of roof subsidence, falling, and even collapse under different geological conditions has become the primary issue. This article first selects the main evaluation indicators in the domestic and foreign roadway roof failure research literature for statistical analysis. Then, according to the statistical results, a classification approach of roof damage degree using the fuzzy comprehensive clustering method is established with roof rock strength, broken degree, roadway section size, buried depth, and roof sinking amount as evaluation indicators. The damage of the top plate is divided into five grades: minor damage, obvious damage, serious damage, extremely serious damage, and devastating damage. Finally, the established evaluation method was applied to the project site-supporting work of the 760 m main transport roadway in Yunnan Maoping Lead-Zinc Mine. The evaluation result is consistent with the actual situation on-site. The research results can provide a reference for the roof stability analysis under the background of this project and similar projects and at the same time help the next step in the classification control of different levels of roof stability and the design of the overall roadway support.
