Abstract | Abstract Under the condition of small roof deformation before the occurrence of fractures and collapse in room and pillar mined-out areas caused by coal pillar instability, the surface deformation may be large, which threatens the safety of ground structures. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, geophysical exploration, geotechnical exploration and physical simulation tests were conducted to analyse the deformation and development mechanism of the overlying strata in the mined-out area in this case. The results show that in terms of surface deformation, the surface deformation caused by coal pillar instability in the room and pillar mined-out area exhibits the slow deformation stage, uniform deformation stage and accelerated deformation stage. In terms of deformation of overlying strata, after the completion of room and pillar mining, a strip-shaped deformation area and trapezoidal deformation area are developed in the overlying rock. With the occurrence of coal pillar instability, a trapezoidal deformation area and inverted funnel-shaped deformation area are developed in the overlying rock. The deformation characteristics of unconsolidated formations transition from trapezoidal deformation after room and pillar mining to funnel-shaped deformation due to coal pillar instability. Moreover, the maximum surface deformation point is located at the centre of the funnel. In terms of spatial morphology of mined-out area deformation, the maximum surface deformation point corresponds to the position of the initial coal pillar instability and the crack in the mined-out area roof along the vertical direction. The mined-out area treatment method can be optimized based on the deformation characteristics of the overlying strata in the room and pillar mined-out area under the condition of coal pillar instability. |
