... Using UDEC numerical simulation software, he pointed out that the higher the strength of roof and surrounding rock, and the smaller the tip-to-face distance, the better the stability of end face roof. Li et al. 11,12 analyzed the different influencing factors of roof collapse at the end of face in repeated mining, and clarified that the influence degree of different factors from large to small was mining height, tip-to-face distance, advancing speed, distance of coal seams, surrounding rock strength and support setting load. Later, through similar simulation experiment and numerical simulation, it was clarified that the roof in the process of repeated mining was normal mining, roof deterioration, end face roof leaks, and support crushing four stages. ...

The overlying strata of the lower coal seam is easy to be collapsed causing the roof caving accident at the end face of the mining working face under repeated mining in close-distance coal seams. In order to predict the roof instability of the end face, the mechanical model of the granular arch structure is established in this study to further analyze its main influencing factors. The results show that the mining height of the working face, the advancing speed, the distance of coal seams, the tip-to-face distance, the strength of the surrounding rock and the support setting the load of the support are the main influencing factors on the roof caving of the end face. Subsequently, the prediction model of roof instability in the end face under repeated mining is constructed through the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) and the above main influencing factors are regarded as input layer indexes. Meanwhile, the roof subsidence, coal wall deformation and support load are determined as the output layer indexes. The predicted results are closer to the results of sample tests. Finally, the early warning system, including monitoring and early warning, data query, emergency management, user management, and system settings, is designed to monitor roof conditions of the end face and timely warn the roof accidents. The field application proves that the system has good practical value, which is of great significance to prevent the end face roof disaster under repeated mining.
... Aiming at the problem of stress concentration in roadway due to the unreasonable design of coal pillar, Wu et al. [17] analyzed coal pillar stress and proposed corresponding roadway support measures of close distance coal seam. Li et al. [18] determined the influencing factors of roadway deformation after repeated mining of a coal seam using on-site monitoring and multiple linear regression analysis. These studies analyzed the failure mechanism of the rock surrounding roadways during mining and proposed various control measures. ...

As the problems of serious bottom drum and roadway broken surrounding rock are influenced by repeated mining in multiple coal seams, the factors affecting the surrounding rock deformation of a +980 m roadway in Faer coal mine by analyzing the rock composition and obtaining borehole video data are investigated. The mechanism of the overburden caving affected by repeated mining of multiple coal seams is analyzed theoretically, and the numerical simulation is conducted to evaluate the deformation mechanism of roadway bottom drum. A combined support technology is proposed consisting of bolts, anchor cables, grouting, and pressure relief grooves. The measurements obtained during a 50 d monitoring period indicate that the deformations of the roof, floor, and both sides of roadway in the repaired and reinforced section are only 26, 56, and 26 mm, respectively. The fissures filled with slurry in the rock surrounding roadway can prevent further deformation of the rock mass.

In order to study the influence of roof stress and fracture distribution characteristics on the stability of stope surrounding rock under repeated mining in close-distance coal seams, the research background of this paper is the close-distance coal seam mining of a mine in Guizhou province, China. The dynamic evolution characteristics of stope roof caving and the stress environment change law under repeated mining are studied by using the method of similar simulation experiment, numerical simulation, and field verification. The results show that the roof stage under repeated mining can be divided into four stages: normal mining, roof deterioration, end face roof leaks, and support crushing. The tip-to-face distance, support height, and support working condition are the main influencing factors in end face roof control. The main reason for the support crushing is that the roof above the support is broken, the main roof cannot form the self-stable structure, and the support force is insufficient. The roof dynamic load is high, and the subsidence of the end face roof is large, which is prone to roof caving during the stope roof weighting. Moreover, the roof weighting is frequent under repeated mining, which leads to the broken roof and the support cannot be supported, resulting in the occurrence of the support crushing accident. The control strategies for stope roof under repeated mining are provided based on the thorough study findings. The working face 17101 roof is successfully controlled by the aforesaid procedures, which provides the foundation for the management of stope surrounding rock under repeated loading.
