Abstract

Based on the raw data of shield pressure and overlying strata movement measured in the field, the ground pressure features and overlying strata movement were analyzed in 8202 extra-thick coal seam longwall top coal caving working face of Tongxin coal mine after its extraction. The research results show that: during the process of mining, the interval of the lower sub key strata caved for the first time is 120 m, the periodic weighting interval ranges from 15 m to 30 m, with an average of 25 m. When the immediate roof is relatively thick, the fractured lower sub key strata can be hinged to form a stable “Voussoir Beam” structure, which makes the ground pressure not severe and the shield pressure small in the ends of the panel. When the immediate roof is thin, the arc triangular of the lower sub key strata in the ends of the panel loses mechanical contact to the caved immediate roof and assumes a “Cantilever Beam” structure, which makes the ground pressure severe and shield pressure large in the ends of the panel. Due to the large mining space of longwall top coal caving working face in extra-thick coal seam and big rotary angle of the overlying strata, the lower sub key strata can’t connect with each other to form a stable bearing structure, therefore, the shield pressure is a given load of roof rock, which results in a constant pressure of the shield.
