Abstract:

Different from the goaf formed by normal mining, the goaf formed by the continuous caving of the lower illegal goafs is extremely irregular and unstable, which leads to the difference in the goaf caving characteristics. Taking the complex irregular goaf of the Shirengou Iron Mine in China as the research object, the 3D laser scanning technology is used to detect the goaf shape and analyze the cause of the formation. Then, the caving characteristics of the goaf are analyzed by the methods of the numerical simulation, the monitoring of the crash of the caving rock, and the monitoring of the deformation of the arch foot. The simulation results show that the transverse expansion of the irregular goaf boundary is mainly along the perpendicular to the direction of the ore body strike when the goaf caves upward in the initial stage. Additionally, the monitoring results show that the caving characteristics can be divided into two stages: the paroxysmal caving stage and the periodicity caving stage. The paroxysmal caving characteristics are intense and irregular, while the periodicity caving characteristics have obvious periodicity, which is mainly reflected in the periodic alternation between the mass caving and the temporary stability. The interval period of the goaf mass caving is about 15–30 days and is changed by the progress of filling treatment. The conclusions in this work reveal the particularity of the caving characteristics in the complex irregular goaf and contribute to the improvement of the caving characteristics and the prediction of mass caving.
