Instability mechanism of coal pillar in steeply dipping ultra-thick coal seam “segmented and stratified” combined mining by Yong LIU, Yao YANG, Xiao WANG, Wenqiang WANG, Xuesong WU, Anye CAO, Zujun LU, Tao YANG, Zhanquan WEI

“…The main cause of pillar instability is the local stress concentration in the combined mining of “segmented and stratified” coal seam with large dip angle; based on the instability mechanism of coal pillar in the composite mining area with large dip angle and ultra-thick coal seam, the prevention and control idea of rock burst of working face and key areas, the plan of the deep hole pre-splitting blasting in the roof and the combining of near and far blasting in the coal body, pressure relief in batches and shock absorption and shock prevention is formulated, which effectively reduces the stress and energy level of the gob side and significantly reduces the “segmented and stratified” composite mining of large dip angle and ultra-thick coal seam.…”
