Numerical analysis of deformation and failure characteristics of deep roadway surrounding rock under static-dynamic coupling stress

Abstract

In actual production, deep coal mine roadways are often under typical static-dynamic coupling stress (SDCS) conditions with high ground stress and strong dynamic disturbances. With the increasing number of disasters and accidents induced by SDCS conditions, the safe and efficient production of coal mines is seriously threatened. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study the deformation and failure characteristics of the roadway surrounding rock under SDCS. In this paper, the effects of different in-situ stress fields and dynamic load conditions on the surrounding rock are studied by numerical simulations, and the deformation and failure characteristics are obtained. According to the simulation results, the horizontal stress, vertical stress and dynamic disturbance have a positive correlation with the plastic failure of the surrounding rock. Among these factors, the influence of the dynamic disturbance is the most substantial. Under the same stress conditions, the extents of deformation and plastic failure of the roof and ribs are always greater than those of the floor. The effect of horizontal stresses on the roadway deformation is more notable than that of vertical stresses. The results indicate that for the roadway under high-stress conditions, the in-situ stress test must be strengthened first. After determining the magnitude of the in-situ stress, the location of the roadway should be reasonably arranged in the design to optimize the mining sequence. For roadways that are strongly disturbed by dynamic loads, rock supports (rebar/cable bolts, steel set etc.) that are capable of maintaining their effectiveness without failure after certain dynamic loads are required. The results of this study contribute to understanding the characteristics of the roadway deformation and failure under SDCS, and can be used to provide a basis for the support design and optimization under similar geological and geotechnical circumstances.
