Research on the evolution and prediction of the heights of water-conducting fracture zones in overlying rocks during layered mining of extremely thick coal seams by MENG Hailun, CHENG Xianggang, QIAO Wei

“…As the working face continued to advance, the horizontal fractures within the overlying rock layers were compacted by the layer above, the fracture aperture decreased, and the fractal dimension gradually reduced. ③ During layered mining, the fractal dimension of fractures generally exhibited four stages: ascending dimension stage, dimension reduction stage, stationary stage, and fluctuating stage. ④ The PSO-SVR model was evaluated using indicators including mean absolute error (MAE), mean bias error (MBE), and correlation index R2. The model showed that correlation index R2＞0.90, MAE＜6.5 m, −0.5 m＜MBE＜0.5 m, indicating that the PSO-SVR model was capable of predicting the heights of water-conducting fracture zones in layered full-mechanized mining. ⑤ By substituting the data from the working face 9-15(08) into the PSO-SVR model, the absolute error between the predicted and observed values was 12.52 m, and the relative error was 4.86%, indicating that the PSO-SVR model could effectively and accurately predict the heights of the water-conducting fracture zones in extremely thick coal seams mining.…”
