Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

There are numerous deep-underground projects worldwide, such as deep-underground coal mining, deep-buried tunnel construction, and deep-underground laboratories. The stress, fracture network, and fluid–solid coupling around the deep underground coal and rock structure become more complex with the increasing depth. Ensuring the safety, stability, and sustainability of deep underground engineering is becoming a new challenge to both researchers and engineers. There has been a major demand to prevent and control coal–rock dynamic disasters in deep underground engineering.

During the development of deep underground engineering, the safety, stability and sustainability of coal and rock mass is the main concern. The aim of this Special Issue is to attract more attentions and discussion on the sustainability of the mechanisms and prevention of coal–rock dynamic disaster and rock engineering.

This research topic aims to provide researchers with an opportunity to conduct a broader scientific and technological discussion on sustainability in mechanism and prevention of coal–rock dynamic disaster and rock engineering.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • coal and rock dynamic disaster;
  • sustainable coal and rock disaster prevention and control;
  • coal and rock instability mechanism;
  • coal and rock fluid-solid interaction;
  • coal and rock fluid flow characteristics;
  • sustainable experimental coal and rock testing;
  • disaster evolution process and mechanism;
  • risk identification and evaluation;
  • sustainable monitoring and early warning.

Original research and review articles are both welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Monitoring and preventing coal–rock dynamic disasters are essential for ensuring sustainable and safe mining. Induced charge monitoring, as a geophysical method, enables sustainable monitoring of coal–rock deformation and failure. The induced charge signal contains crucial information regarding damage evolution, making it imperative and important to explore its temporal characteristics for effective monitoring and early warnings of dynamic disasters in deep mining. This paper conducted induced charge monitoring tests at different loading rates, investigating the multifractal characteristics of induced charge signals during the early and late stages of loading. It proposed the maximum generalized dimension D(q)max, multifractal spectrum width Δα, and height difference Δf as multifractal parameters for induced charge signals. Additionally, quantitative characterization of coal damage was performed, studying the variation patterns of signal multifractal characteristic parameters with coal damage evolution. This study revealed the induced charge signal of the coal body multifractal characteristics in the whole loading process. In the late loading stage, the double logarithmic curve demonstrated some nonlinearity compared to the previous period, indicating the higher non-uniformity of the induced charge time series. D(q)max and Δα in the late loading stage were higher than those in the early stage and increased with loading rates. As coal damage progressed, there were significant jumps of D(q)max in both the early and late stages of damage, with larger jumps indicating richer fracture events in the coal. The width Δα showed an overall trend of increase–decrease–increase with coal damage evolution, while the height difference Δf fluctuated around zero in the early stage of damage development but increased significantly during severe damage and destruction. By studying the multifractal characteristics of induced charge signals, this study provides insights for the early identification of coal–rock dynamic disasters. Full article

Aiming at the problem of large deformations and difficult maintenance of cross-mining floor roadways, taking the track transportation roadway of the cross-mining east wing floor in Qinan Coal Mine as the engineering background, the stress field distribution of mining stress in floor strata and surrounding rock of floor roadway during the cross-mining process of the working face is studied by combining theoretical analysis with numerical simulation. The results show that the influence of mining stress on the vertical stress of floor strata is reflected in the stress-increasing area in front of the coal wall and the stress-decreasing area in the rear of the coal wall. With the increase in the depth of the floor strata, the peak value of the vertical stress gradually decreases, and the distance from the peak value of the vertical stress to the coal wall and the influence range of the vertical stress gradually increases. When the width of the coal pillar is greater than the influence range of advance abutment pressure of the working face, the development speed of the plastic zone is slow. When the roadway is located in the influence range of advance abutment pressure, the plastic zone of the roadway’s surrounding rock develops rapidly. When the working face crosses the floor roadway more than 10 m, the depth of the plastic zone of the surrounding rock of the roadway is no longer increased; the siltstone above the roadway is the key layer of fracturing, and the deformation of the roadway has been effectively improved after hydraulic fracturing. Through the analysis of numerical simulation results, the fracturing scheme has a significant effect on the stability control of the surrounding rock of the cross-mining floor roadway. This study has certain guiding significance for the maintenance and sustainable utilization of floor roadways in the cross-mining process, which is conducive to ensuring the sustainable mining of underground coal and the safety of personnel and equipment and is of great significance to the sustainable development of the coal mining industry.
