Abstract:
In order to study the broken and falling characters of hard top coal seam with shallow-buried,numerical simulation and filed experiment were applied to study the broken and falling characters of hard top coal seam based on the situation of 11301 top coal caving working face of Qianshuta colliery.The results showed that “cantilever” structure could formed easily near the position of both ends of working face in hard top coal during mining process,then an extrusion balance arch would be formed when broken coal bricks falling.The paper proposed that blasting in deep hole could decreased the cantilever length of hard top coal,optimization top coal caving method could decreased the ratio of arch forming ,then it was applied in filed successfully.
