Abstract and Figures

In order to explore the pressure relief effect of the two combined pressure relief and antireflection technologies of ultra-high pressure water jet cutting before pressure and pressure before cutting, theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and field test were used to study the main control factors of the combined high-pressure water jet slit cutting and fracturing antireflection technology. This paper introduces the combined technology of ultra-high pressure hydraulic fracturing, and analyses the mechanism of pressure relief and transparency enhancement of the combination of cutting before pressure and pressure relief after cutting. The results show that the starting pressure of the coal seam with ultra-high pressure water jet cutting and pressure relief is 13 MPa, the influence radius of hydraulic fracturing is 45–55 m, the starting pressure of the coal seam with pressure cutting and pressure relief is 16 MPa, and the influence radius of hydraulic fracturing is 35–45 m. Compared with pressure cutting combined pressure relief and permeability enhancement technology, cutting pressure relief and permeability enhancement technology can improve the permeability of coal seams more evenly and effectively, and reduce the stress of coal seams near the hole. The ultra-high pressure cutting and pressure combined technology can make the pressure relief of coal body uniform and sufficient, and the overall permeability coefficient of the coal body is greatly improved. The drilling purity is 2.3 times of the extraction purity of the ordinary single hole drilling, and the extraction influence range is increased, and the extraction effect is significantly improved. At the same time, the stress of coal body is reduced after slitting, and the starting pressure of hydraulic fracturing is reduced. The research results provide a scientific basis for the coal seam pressure relief and permeability enhancement under similar conditions in the mining area and have a broad application prospect.

1. Introduction
At present, there are more than 2000 coal and gas outburst,
rock burst, and high gas mines in China, accounting for 30%
of the total number of mines. After entering deep mining,
the problems of high gas and high ground stress are
prominent, the permeability of coal seam is reduced, and the
diculty of disaster management is increased [1–3]. Under
the condition of deep mining, the coal seam is upgraded to
the protruding coal seam. For the protruding coal seam
without protective layer mining or rst mining, the anti-
protruding measures in the prepumping area of dense
conventional borehole are still the main measures. In order
to achieve ecient control of gas disasters in deep mines, the
conventional pressure relief and reection improvement
technologies in coal mines in China at the present stage
mainly include hydraulic punching, hydraulic cutting, hy-
draulic fracturing, and deep-hole presplitting blasting [4–6].
Although the deep-hole presplit blasting technology can
signicantly improve the pressure relief and antireection
eect of coal seam, it is relatively less applied in the pressure
relief and antireection improvement of coal seam, because
the long borehole coal seam is prone to collapse, resulting in
charging diculties, and it is dicult to eliminate the risk of
misring and explosion refusal in blasting operation. In
recent years, the reection improvement technology of

hydraulic coal seam in China has entered a stage of rapid
development. e individual technology is constantly im-
proved, and the overall development is in the direction of
integration and diversication. e hydraulic measures such
as low-pressure hydraulic punching, hydraulic cavitation,
hydraulic fracturing, and hydraulic slotting have become the
hot spots of research in scientic research institutions, which
provide support for the control of coal mine gas disasters
and have achieved results under certain conditions [7–10].
e hydraulic technology is often used in the eld, and the
hydraulic punching pressure is generally 5–20 MPa, which
has a certain eect on the pressure relief and reection
improvement of soft coal seam, while the hydraulic
punching eciency of medium and hard coal seam is low.
However, it is dicult to control the shape of punching holes
in soft coal seam, and the amount of slag is not uniform, so
there may be hole collapse, hole injection, or roadway gas
overlimit during operation. e hydraulic fracturing has
a large inuence range and good antireection eect, and is
mostly used in medium and hard coal seams. However, it is
dicult to control the fracture propagation direction in the
coal body [11–13]. Hydraulic cutting seam technology is
based on high-pressure water cutting technology of coal
seam, improve coal seam gas ow state, reduce the stress, can
eectively prevent coal, and gas outburst and the impact of
ground pressure disasters happen, suitable for high ground
stress, gas and low permeability coal seam (seam hardness
f>0.4) bedding face drilling, wear layer drilling, and shimen
uncovering coal unloading antireection and so on [14–16].
e ultra-high pressure water jet cuts the coal body, and
the coal body around the slot produces deformation space so
that the coal body around the slot can be fully depressurized.
At the same time, because a part of the coal body around the
drill hole is transported out of the drill hole by the water jet,
a large number of cracks are generated in the expansion and
deformation of the coal rock, changing the permeability
conditions of the coal rock. Ge et al. established a uid-solid
coupling gas drainage model of slotted borehole. rough
numerical simulation analysis, it is believed that the inu-
ence radius of the borehole drainage after hydraulic slotting
has a power function relationship with slot disc, perme-
ability, drainage time, gas pressure, and other factors.
rough model research, it is determined that the inuence
signicance of each factor from large to small is perme-
ability, drainage time, gas pressure, and slotting depth [17].
Li et al. used a dynamic damage model to study the cutting
process of soft coal rock by water jet. During the cutting
process, with the gradual release of stress around the slot, the
crack continued to expand in some directions. e tension
and shear fractures in coal and rock continue to develop
during the damage accumulation process, in which short
pulses with high peak stress can form relatively short
fractures, and long pulses with low peak stress can form
relatively long fractures. Under the continuous action, the
cracks around the slot cut by the jet gradually develop and
then connect to each other to form a breakthrough failure
[18]. Tang et al. conducted numerical simulation on the
inuence of dierent hydraulic slotting arrangements on the
coal seam pressure relief and outburst prevention, and
analyzed the inuence of parallel, diamond, and staggered
pressure relief. e results show that the coal rock pressure
relief eect above the fracture groove is most obvious. e
results showed that the pressure relief eect of coal and rock
above the slot was the most obvious [19]. rough indirect
measurement of gas ow through similar material test, it is
conrmed that the pressure relief of coal seam has a sig-
nicant impact on permeability, and the permeability co-
ecient of coal and rock increases synchronously with the
degree of pressure relief. By studying the displacement and
stress changes of coal body under dierent slit widths after
high-pressure water jet slotting, the inuence of slit depth on
coal rock disturbance is analyzed. Numerical simulation
shows that the pressure relief range of 1.0 m, 1.5 m, and
2.0 m slotting on coal body reaches 2.6 m, 3.8 m, and 5.0 m,
and the inuence range of slit on coal body increases with
the increase of slit width. e larger the slit depth is, the
more conducive to coal seam pressure relief.
e antireection technology of hydraulic fracturing
was rst used in the exploitation of oil and gas elds, as
a main measure of oil and gas well stimulation. In the 1960s,
the hydraulic fracturing technology began to be used in coal
mines to increase in coal seam permeability, mainly by
drilling deep into the coal body through injection of high-
pressure water, and fracturing the coal body with water as
the energy transmission medium. After high-pressure
water fracturing, the stress of surrounding coal body was
reduced, and the stress concentration was transferred to the
depth of the coal body, thus improving the permeability of
coal body around the borehole, providing a good condition
for drilling gas extraction [12, 2022]. e research on the
hydraulic fracturing technology in coal mine mainly fo-
cuses on the theoretical research on the initiation and
extension laws of the hydraulic fractures, or the estab-
lishment of hydraulic fracturing mathematical model for
numerical calculation research, or the physical experiment
research of hydraulic fracturing in the laboratory. Hubbert
and Willis described the stress distribution law of hydraulic
fracturing wall and surrounding coal and rock mass based
on classical elastic mechanics, and thus obtained the the-
oretical calculation model of tensile failure fracture pres-
sure of coal and rock mass: P

on the wall of the borehole are not fully
considered in this theory [23]. Ma et al. conducted an
experimental study on the inuence of water pressure with
dierent water ow rates on the fracture initiation char-
acteristics of coal. e results show that the increase in
water ow rate makes the fracture morphology more
complex, and the research results have important theo-
retical signicance for revealing the fracture initiation
behavior of boreholes [24]. According to the rst strength
criterion, Lv deduced the critical value calculation formula
of pressure crack initiation pressure and successfully tried it
in Pingmei Ten Mine [25]. Bouteca developed a full 3D
morphological mathematical model of hydraulic fracturing
2Advances in Civil Engineering
by combining the 3D spatial uid ow eld model with the
elliptical fracture deformation model of Shah and Koba-
gashi [26]. Based on the uid-solid interaction theory, Lian
et al. analyzed the problem of hydraulic fracture propa-
gation, took the critical stress as the criterion of the fracture
initiation and extension, deduced the pressure drop
equation expression in the fracture wall, and established the
calculation model. ABAQUS software was used to simulate
the inuence of surrounding rock stress, rock mechanical
properties, fracturing uid seepage characteristics, and
other external factors on hydraulic fracture propagation
[27]. Bjerrum et al. carried out hydraulic fracturing tests by
injecting high-pressure water into a small circular tube at
the bottom of the fracturing sample in a triaxial pressure
test device, and concluded that the propagation direction of
hydraulic fractures was generated along the minimum
principal stress surface [28]. Chen et al. used the true
triaxial test device to conduct AE monitoring on the
fracture of raw coal samples under fracturing. e research
results can reveal the source characteristics of the whole
fracture process of raw coal samples in the true triaxial
hydraulic fracturing process, and evaluate the safety of the
fracture process [29]. Deng et al. studied the control pa-
rameters of hydraulic crack propagation behavior by the
method of hydraulic fracturing under the control of ground
stress eld, and conducted a systematic experimental study
on the relationship between the formation and expansion of
hydraulic crack and the change of coal permeability and the
action of hydraulic pressure. e research results have
practical signicance for improving the design eect of top
coal precracking [30]. Liu et al. studied the internal mi-
crostructure evolution mechanism of dierent coals under
liquid nitrogen cooling. e experimental results show that
the total pore volume and pore surface area of coal are
increased after cold leaching, the heterogeneity of pore
structure is enhanced, the fractal dimension is increased,
and the development of porous structure of coal is pro-
moted by cold leaching [31]. Zhou et al. took Longhu coal
mine in Qitaihe mining area as the research object to study
the stability of roadway oor heave. e new support
scheme is adopted to reduce the oor heave of roadway by
81%. e research results can provide guidance for the
optimization of roadway support [32]. Surrounding rock
control and support stability of super high mining face was
studied by Wang Sheng. e results of this study can
provide guidance for the selection of scaolds and the
adoption of measures to improve the stability of scaolds
when they are used in ultra-high height conditions [33].
Taking Linyi mining area as the research object, Li Xuelong
studied the distribution law of ground stress in deep mines.
It is found that the relationship between principal stresses is
σ(H)>σ(v)>σ(h), which belongs to the strike-slip stress
system. Under this stress condition, the soil lateral pressure
coecients are all greater than 1, and the magnitude of the
three principal stresses increases with the increase in depth.
e research results have certain reference signicance for
mine disaster prevention and safety production [34]. Liu
Haiyan studied the failure mechanism and control tech-
nology of cave-side stoping roadway in close distance coal
seam. It is proposed that U-shaped steel telescopic support
erection and backwall lling are used to control the sur-
rounding rock of goaf mining in the process of roadway
excavation, and the on-site monitoring results also meet the
engineering requirements. e research results can provide
guidance for roadway design of goaf under similar mining
geological conditions [3551].
e application of ultra-high pressure hydraulic slot-
ting technology can realize the precise seam cutting, rapid
pressure relief, and ecient permeability increase, and
drilling engineering quantity is reduced on the basis of the
extraction standard time to shorten 30% of the eect. With
the application of hydraulic fracturing technology, the
impact area of hydraulic fracturing is more than 50 m, with
a large impact area and obvious antireection eect in the
region. After the application of ultra-high pressure hy-
draulic slit technology and hydraulic fracturing technology,
the antireection eect of coal seam is remarkable.
erefore, in the hydraulic cutting seam technology and
hydraulic fracturing technology in the application process,
there exist the following problems: the super high-pressure
hydraulic cutting seam to improve the unloading antire-
ection eect at the same time, greatly reduce drilling of
quantities, as local antireection measures that it is obvi-
ous, but for large area still needs to undertake a large
number of slotted drilling construction slot unloading
antireection. Although the antireection eect of hy-
draulic fracturing technology has a large inuence range, it
is dicult to control the fracture propagation direction in
the coal body, and the pressure relief and antireection
improvement are not uniform, and there is stress con-
centration phenomenon.
To sum up, to better carry out uniform permeability
improvement in low permeability coal seam, accurately
control the pressure relief and permeability improvement
area, greatly reduce the drilling engineering quantity, and
solve the technical problems of gas extraction and control in
low permeability coal seam. e combined technology of
ultra-high pressure hydraulic slit cutting and hydraulic
fracturing is explored, and the mechanism of pressure relief
and reection improvement by cutting and pressure relief
and cutting is analyzed. e hydraulic cutting pressure
scientic model is established, and the inuence range of
high pressure hydraulic cutting pressure is solved through
theoretical analysis. e PFC software based on the theory of
discontinuous media mechanics was used to simulate the
initiation and expansion characteristics of seam cutting and
fracturing fractures in coal seam, and the distribution rules
of fractures and stresses in coal seam were compared and
analyzed by hydraulic cutting before pressure and pressure
relief after cutting. Combined with the eld research on
ultra-high pressure hydraulic cutting before pressure and
pressure before cutting and combined pressure before
cutting and permeability improvement, the inuence law of
ultra-high pressure water jet cutting pressure sequence on
pressure relief and permeability improvement of coal seam is
further revealed. e research results are of great signicance
to enrich the comprehensive gas control technology of low
permeability coal seam.

2. Ultra-High Pressure Hydraulics First Cut and
Then Pressure Combined with the
Principle of Permeation
e concept of hydraulics rst cut and then pressurized joint
mode is to use ultra-high pressure hydraulic cuts to cut the
coal seam in the coal seam rst, and then use hydraulic
fracturing to fracturing the coal seam after the gap is gen-
erated. e groove generated by the hydraulic cutting in the
early stage can guide the hydraulic fracturing so that the
extension direction of the fracture in the plastic zone is
basically the same as the direction of cracking. e crack
expansion is more uniform.
By forming a slot by hydraulic cutting in the coal body in
advance, the eective inuence range of the single hole can
be expanded to a certain extent. e original stress balance of
the coal body can be destroyed. e coal body around the cut
hole is transported to the space of the slot space, and the
pressure relief, deformation, and expansion of the coal seam
can occur, further generating more cracks and expanding the
plastic area of the coal body near the cut hole. Combined
with the empirical formula of plastic theory, it can be seen
that the radius of the plastic zone is about 3 to 5 times the
radius of the cut groove, and the radius of the high-pressure
water groove is determined to be about 2.5 m through eld
tests. It is inferred that the radial plastic zone range outside
the hydraulic groove is about 7.5 to 12.5 m. After the hy-
draulic cut is formed into a crevice, a weak surface is
generated in the drilling hole, and after the fracturing water
enters the crack, it promotes the cracking, expansion, and
extension of the weak side crack, resulting in the full and
uniform development of the coal body fracture near the
borehole. rough the rational arrangement of the cut-
pressure joint hole, a three-dimensional fracture network
of interpenetration is formed between the drilled holes,
which eectively solve the problems of disorderly expansion
of the fracture in the coal body during the ordinary hydraulic
fracturing, local stress concentration, and pressure relief
blind zone after fracturing.
is joint mode not only solves the problems that the
direction of hydraulic fracturing crack is not easy to control,
but also the crack propagation in the fracturing area is
uneven. It is easy to form a high stress concentration area,
and there is a “blind zone” of fracturing, but also increases
the scope of impact of fracturing, which saves a lot of drilling
engineering compared with ordinary drilling holes and
improves the eciency of pressure relief and antiextrusion.
At the same time, the problems of uneven pressure relief and
stress concentration in individual areas are supplemented by
xed-point hydraulic cutting to achieve uniform and e-
cient antipenetration purposes. A schematic diagram of the
rst cut and then press joint is shown in Figure 1.
3. Ultra-High Pressure Hydraulics First Press
and Then Cut and Increase the
Principle of Penetration
Hydraulics rst press and then cut joint mode, that is,
hydraulic fracturing is used to supplement the fracture
within the inuence range of hydraulic fracturing. e gap
fracture is formed in the blank zone of the hydraulic frac-
turing aected area, and the fracture formed by hydraulic
fracturing is conducted, and more fractures are formed.
rough hydraulic fracturing operations to rapidly improve
the permeability of the coal seam in the area and the gas
extraction eect, after the completion of the hydraulic
fracturing construction, the fracturing crack is un-
controllable. Although the cracks in the coal seam are
generated in a large range, the permeability of the coal seam
increases, and the coal body plays a decompression and
permeability eect within the scope of the crack. However,
the inhomogeneity of the physical and mechanical prop-
erties of the coal leads to the uncontrollable weak surface in
the coal seam, resulting in uncontrollable hydraulic frac-
turing cracks. ere is a blank zone aected by hydraulic
fracturing within the scope of inuence of the hydraulic
fracturing, and the area with poor pressure relief eect is
used as a “blind spot” of hydraulic fracturing, and there is
a stress concentration in the uncontrolled area of the crack.
e use of hydraulic cutting joints to accurately increase
penetration and strengthen extraction, under the action of
ground stress, and the fracturing cracks are connected with
the fractured area of the joints, forming an overall pressure
relief area, reducing the stress concentration, and eectively
improving the gas permeability of the coal seam. is mode
eectively combines the advantages of fracturing and
fracture, solves the problem of stress concentration and
uneven fracturing in the fracturing area, and realizes the
accuracy of antiprotrusion. e precise antiprotrusion mode
of pressing rst and cutting is shown in Figure 2.
4. Ultra-High Pressure Hydraulics First Press
and Then Cut and Increase the
Principle of Penetration
Under the action of ultra-high pressure hydraulic force,
when the coal body around the borehole exceeds its own
strength, the hole wall is the plastic softening zone and the
elastic zone are from inside to outside. e drilling me-
chanical model is shown in Figure 3. e model assumes the
following:
e borehole is subject to the stress P
0
of the original
rock, and the side pressure coecient λ1 is treated
according to the axial symmetry problem, which is
simplied to planar strain

5. Numerical Simulation Analysis of Ultra-High
Pressure Hydraulics Combined with
Permeation PFC
Under the action of ultra-high pressure hydraulic force,
when the coal body around the borehole exceeds its own
strength, the hole wall is the plastic softening zone and the
elastic zone from the inside to the outside. e drilling
mechanical model is shown in Figure 3. e model assumes
the following:
e particle ow discrete element method (PFC) is based
on the mechanics of discontinuous media to study the
germination, expansion, and penetration of fractures, which
can truly express the geometric characteristics of jointed
rock masses, facilitate the handling of nonlinear deformation
and destruction, and reect the dierent physical relation-
ships between multiphase media through a variety of con-
nection methods between cells, which can eectively study
noncontinuous phenomena such as cracking and separation.
ere are countless mesoscopic cracks in coal rocks, espe-
cially soft coal bodies, showing obvious inelastic de-
formation characteristics, and these mesoscopic cracks
develop into macroscopic cracks or until they break down
under increased loads. In the particle ow discrete element,
when the contact point node is destroyed, the corresponding
particles will produce cracks, and new cracks will be gen-
erated at the initial crack tip as a sign of hydraulic fracturing.
e nonlinear deformation failure process of the fracture can
be analyzed by direct and indirect methods. e indirect
method uses the constitutive relationship to analyze the
failure process, generally assumes the fractured coal body as
an ideal uniform material, reects the weakening of the
overall strength of the fractured coal body through a certain
constitutive relationship, and expresses the microstructure
failure process in the coal body in this way. e direct
method is a mesoscopic simulation method, which assumes
that the fracture coal material is a collection of various
microstructures, or some particle combinations connected
at the contact point. e failure process of the fractured coal
body can be directly simulated by the microstructure and
particle rupture, and the fractured coal body can be studied
mescologically without simulation through complex con-
stitutive models.
e PFC numerical calculation software is a kind of
software based on particle ow theory, which links the
microstructure of materials with macroscopic mechanical
reactions, and directly simulates material failure from
a mesoscopic perspective, which is suitable for materials that
are dicult to accurately describe their properties through
constitutive relationships based on uniform media, such as
fractured rock masses. e bonding parameters of the
particles determine the location and number of initial
microcracks, so microcracks can only be formed in the
connection contact model. e position and size of the two
particles determine the location and geometry of the cracks,
which can be simplied to a cylindrical surface represented
by the center point position, normal direction, thickness,
and radius parameters.
5.1. First Cut and en Press Combined with Unloading Coal
Seam Fracture and Stress Distribution. e model adopts
a two-dimensional plane model. e direction length is
200 m, the height is 200 m, the drilling diameter is 113 mm,
the cutting pressure is 100 MPa, the test site elevation is
about 550 m, the vertical stress reaches 17.7 MPa, the
pressure measurement coecient is 1, and the horizontal
stress is 17.7 MPa. e model schematic diagram is shown in
Figure 4.
First, hydraulic cutting is used to form a slot, and
a pressure of 25 MPa is applied to the periphery of the groove
for fracturing, and the distribution of fracture, main stress,
and permeability of the coal seam after fracturing is ana-
lyzed. e ssure distribution of coal seam in the process of
drilling construction, hydraulic cutting, and hydraulic
fracturing is shown in Figures 5–7, respectively, and the
maximum main stress distribution curve on the midline of
the test borehole level is monitored in the simulation.
Figure 5 shows the distribution of coal cracks after
drilling construction. It can be seen from the gure that the
ssures in the coal body around the drilling hole are not
obvious after the construction of the borehole, and basically
maintain the original state. e stress of the coal body
around the borehole is evenly distributed and is basically in
a state of stress equilibrium. Only the drilling is excavated,
creating plastic deformation zones and elastic zones around
the borehole, resulting in reduced seam stress. Figure 6
shows the distribution of coal cracks after drilling and
cutting. It can be seen that after drilling and cutting, a cir-
cular gap is formed around the drilling hole, and the coal
body around the gap groove is damaged or plastically de-
formed, forming a crack. e stress of the coal body around
the trough is concentrated and transferred to the deep part of
the coal body, and a stress-reduced pressure relief zone is
formed around the slot area. Figure 7 shows the distribution
of fractures in coal with a fracturing pressure of 25 MPa, as
the water injection pressure increases, when the ssure
expands to a certain extent. e expansion rate begins to
slow down, and the secondary ssures are gradually inter-
connected to form a highly complex fracture network, but
with the continuous development of the ssures in the coal
seam, the degree of stress concentration is becoming more
and more serious.
In the aected area of fracturing, the fractures are mainly
elliptical in distribution. In terms of the degree of damage of
the coal body, the coal body in the area near the fracturing
hole is better than the coal body far from the fracturing hole
area. From the change of water injection pressure during the
fracturing process, it can be seen that the cracking pressure is
about 13 MPa, and the radius of inuence of hydraulic
fracturing can reach 45–55 m.
After hydraulic fracturing of the coal seam, the original
stress balance state of the coal seam is destroyed, resulting in
a decrease in the stress value of the coal seam in the area near
the fracturing hole, forming a pressure relief zone. However,
the stress value of the coal seam around the pressure dis-
charge zone increases, forming a stress concentration area.
erefore, according to the stress distribution of the coal
seam after fracturing, the coal seam around the fracturing
Advances in Civil Engineering 7
hole can be divided into stress reduction zone (pressure
relief area), stress concentration area, stress transition area,
and original stress area from near and far.
5.2. First Press and en Cut Combined with Unloading Coal
Seam Fracture and Stress Distribution. e model adopts
a two-dimensional plane model, the direction length is
200 m, the height is 200 m, and the drilling diameter is
113 mm, which is consistent with the model of Figure 4, as
shown in Figure 8. e central fracturing hole is located in
the center of the coal seam and is set to 113 mm in diameter.
e test site elevation is about 550 m, the vertical stress
reaches 17.7 MPa, the side pressure coecient is 1, and the
horizontal stress is 17.7 MPa. 25 MPa pressure is applied to
the periphery of the borehole for fracturing, and after the
completion of the fracturing, hydraulic fracture drilling is

carried out in the blank area of the fracture according to the
fracture and stress distribution. e distribution of fracture,
main stress, and permeability of the coal seam after frac-
turing and cutting is analyzed.
Figures 9–11 are the ssure distribution of the coal seam
and the maximum main stress distribution curve on the
midline of the drilling level of the ordinary borehole hy-
draulic fracturing process, respectively.
Figure 9 shows the distribution of coal cracks after
drilling construction. It can be seen from the gure that after
the construction of the borehole, the fracture of the coal
body around the borehole is not obvious and basically
maintains the original state. e stress of the coal body
around the borehole is evenly distributed and is basically in
a state of stress equilibrium. Only due to the excavation of
the drilled hole, the plastic deformation zone and the elastic
zone are generated around the drilled hole, resulting in
a reduction in the stress of the coal seam.
Figure 10 shows the fracture distribution of coal with
a fracturing pressure of 25 MPa. As can be seen from the
gure, when the ssure expands to a certain extent, the
number of new ssures decreases, and there is a stress-
concentrated area. In the aected area of fracturing, the
distribution of fracture fractures is mainly in the direction of
main stress, and the other regions have less fracture de-
velopment and there are blank areas. e fracture devel-
opment is uneven. After the use of hydraulic cuts, the
number of cracks increases, and the stress concentration
area caused by hydraulic fracturing is signicantly relieved.
From the change of water injection pressure during the
fracturing process, it can be seen that the cracking pressure is
about 16 MPa, and the inuence radius of hydraulic frac-
turing can reach 3545 m.
Figure 11 shows the fracture distribution and stress
distribution after hydraulic fracture in the nonformation
area of the coal seam after the fracturing pressure is 25 MPa.
As can be seen from the gure, after the hydraulic fracture is
carried out in the later stage, the fracture blank zone within
the inuence range of the original hydraulic fracturing
generates a crack. e fracture that has been generated can
be further increased. e stress concentration area is
redistributed to play a role in depressurization.
Compared with the same model, there is a big dierence
between the cutting sequence of ultra-high pressure water jet
and the fracture and horizontal direction of the discharge
coal seam:
(1) e cracking pressure of the coal seam with the
combined pressure of cutting rst and then pressing
is 13 MPa, and the radius of inuence of hydraulic
fracturing can reach 45–55 m. e cracking pressure
of the coal seam of rst pressure and then cutting and
unloading coal seam is 16 MPa, and the radius of
inuence of hydraulic fracturing can reach 35–45 m.
(2) e rst cut and then the combined pressure dis-
charge coal seam destroys the original stress balance
state of the coal seam, causing the stress value of the
coal seam in the area near the fracturing hole to
decrease, forming a pressure relief area. e stress
distribution is more uniform, at a low value, forming
a better pressure relief area, and the stress value of
the coal seam around the pressure relief area is in-
creased, forming a stress concentration area. In the
area aected by fracturing, the distribution of frac-
ture fractures is mainly along the direction of main
stress. e fracture development in other areas is less,
and there are blank areas. e development of
fractures is uneven, after the use of hydraulic frac-
tures, the number of fractures increases, and the
stress concentration area caused by hydraulic frac-
turing is obvious. But there are pressure uctuations
and instability in the pressure relief area.
In summary, after the cutting pressure combination, the
pressure relief of the coal body can be uniform and sucient.
e overall gas permeability coecient of the coal body can
be greatly improved. e scope of inuence of extraction can
be increased, and the extraction eect can be signicantly
improved. At the same time, the stress after the coal body is
cut and the cracking pressure during hydraulic fracturing is
reduced.

(1) e coal seam initiation pressure of ultra-high
pressure water jet cutting pressure combined with
pressure relief is 13 MPa, and the inuence radius of
hydraulic fracturing is 45–55 m. e initiation
pressure of coal seam is 16 MPa, and the inuence
radius of hydraulic fracturing is 35–45 m. e
combined technology of cutting pressure can make

traction is enlarged, and the extraction eect is
signicantly improved. At the same time, the stress
after the coal seam cutting is reduced, and the
fracturing pressure during hydraulic fracturing is
reduced.
(2) After hydraulic slit, the initiation pressure of coal
seam decreases, and the inuence radius of hydraulic
fracturing increases, with an inuence range of
46–56 m. e permeability within the inuence area
increases by 25 to 30 times. e permeability co-

The deformation of surrounding rock in the withdrawal roadways of fully mechanized working faces is a critical factor affecting the safe and efficient withdrawal of mining equipment. In order to address this issue, an experimental study was conducted on an innovative method for pre-split blasting to protect withdrawal roadways, using a working face in Shaanxi Province, China, as the engineering background. Firstly, research was conducted using physical model experiments to study the protection of the withdrawal roadway through pre-split blasting. The results indicate that at a certain distance ahead of the working face, the use of pre-split blasting technology on the roof of the withdrawal roadway leads to a significant reduction in both surrounding rock deformation and stress in the blasted side Withdrawal Roadway (I) compared to the unblasted side Withdrawal Roadway (II). The effective blocking of the stress transmission path caused by mining-induced stress leads to substantial relief of stress concentration in the withdrawal roadway's surrounding rock. This demonstrates that pre-split blasting technology can effectively reduce the advance mining stress on the withdrawal roadway, achieving the goal of protecting the withdrawal roadway. Subsequently, numerical simulation experiments were conducted to further investigate the patterns of surrounding rock stress and displacement in the withdrawal roadway under the influence of advance mining stress during the excavation of the working face. Furthermore, the numerical simulation results closely match the data from the model experiments, confirming the accuracy of the model experiments. Finally, this technology was applied to an engineering site. Monitoring results show that when pre-split blasting technology is employed at the advance working face, the deformation of the surrounding rock in the withdrawal roadway is effectively controlled. The research findings provide valuable insights for the protection of similar withdrawal roadways.

Water is a crucial factor that influences the mechanical behavior of rock and can induce failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of water content and water distribution on the mechanical behavior of sandstone subjected to triaxial compression. Sandstone samples under different water states, including dry, unsaturated, saturated, and long-term saturated, were prepared. Some saturated samples were dried in air for different periods to prepare samples that were dry on the outside but remained wet on the inside. The triaxial compression tests were performed on the samples under four confining pressures: 5, 10, 15 and 25 MPa. The results indicated that the water state of a sandstone sample can be characterized by its water content, soaking time, water distribution, and long-term saturation. The different water states can affect remarkably the strength, deformation, and failure pattern of the sandstone samples subjected to triaxial compression. Several empirical equations were established to describe the evolution of the mechanical behavior of sandstone with increasing water content and soaking duration. The nonuniform distribution of water promotes the generation of tensile cracks, while increasing confining pressure promotes the development of shear cracks. The strength of sandstone samples with dry outside and wet inside are lower than that of samples with wet outside and dry inside. What is more, a long-term saturated state increases the strain-softening of the sandstone samples, thereby increasing their deformation and lowering their strength.

Surrounding rock control and support stability in the process of coal seam mining in ultra-large height mining face are the key to normal mine operation. In this study, the roof movement and deformation of an ultra-large height mining face are analyzed, and the working resistance of the ultra-large height mining face is obtained by introducing the equivalent immediate roof. By analyzing the coal wall spalling, the multiple positions of the spalling and the required support force of the support are obtained. At the same time, ultra-large height supports are more prone to instability problems. In this study, the stability of the ultra-large height supports was analyzed by establishing a mechanical model. The results show that: 1. The overturning limit angle of support has a hyperbolic relationship with the center of gravity. 2. Under the condition of ultra-large height, the increase in the base width of the bracket significantly improves the stability of the supports. 3. The sliding limit angle of support is positively correlated with the support load and the friction coefficient between the support and the floor. The above conclusions can provide guidance on the selection of supports and the adoption of measures to enhance the stability of the supports during use under ultra-large height conditions. The working resistance of the ultra-large height supports in the 108 mining face of the Jinjitan Coal Mine was monitored. The monitoring results show that: The average resistance of the supports is 22.6 MPa. The selected supports can meet the stability requirements of the working face support. The frequency of mining resistance in 0~5 MPa accounts for 28.38%, which indicates that some supports are insufficient for the initial support force during the moving process. Furthermore, the stability of the supports can be enhanced by adjusting the moving process. This study provides a reference for the selection of supports in ultra-large height mining faces and proposes measures to enhance the stability of the supports, which provides guidance for the safe mining of coal in ultra-large height mining faces.

The engineering rock mass in the high-altitude cold areas are usually exposed to freeze–thaw (FT) weathering and frequent blast disturbances, which limit the mining safety level. This work aims to reveal the macro-meso dynamic fracture and instability characteristics of marble under the coupling actions of freeze–thaw weathering and frequent impact disturbances. A separated Hopkinson pressure bar testing system combined with post-test X-Ray computed tomography (CT) imaging were performed on freeze–thawed marble specimens. It was found that the FT treatment impacts the marble structural degradation and accumulative impact number, the total impact number decreases with the increase of freeze–thaw cycles. The average strain rate was approximately quadratically correlated with the FT cycles and the impact number, and the dynamic elasticity modulus was approximately linear negatively correlated with the FT cycle and negatively correlated with impact number. In addition, the damage evolution model and constitutive model are both proposed to express rock dynamic damage, and the empirical stress–strain curves are in accordance with the testing data. Moreover, the mesoscopic cracking characteristics revealed by CT scanning show that the scale and density of cracks decreases as FT cycle grows. Article highlights Frequent dynamic impact tests combined with post-test CT scanning were conducted on freeze-thawed marble. Previous FT damage influence cumulative impact number and the rock dynamic mechanical properties. A damage constitutive model considering the coupled effect of FT and impact loads was proposed. Post-test CT images reveal the mesoscopic cracking pattern and crack scale decreases with increasing FT cycles.

Joints widely exist in engineering rock masses and significantly affect their dynamic response to different loadings. Here, utilizing the state-of-the-art 3D laser scanning technology, which allows the digitalization of the joint surface’s topography, and the Digital Image Correlation scanning technology that records the time series of the strain and mass point vibration, we build our unique experimental apparatus on the basis of a conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar with which we perform a series of repeated experiments on samples that are intact, with rough and smooth joint surfaces. This series of experiments provide us opportunities to look into the joint's dynamic mechanical behavior and energy evolution through multiple repeated impact loadings. We observe that the transmitted coefficient decreases with a larger joint roughness coefficient and the number of impacts. The stress wave and energy attenuation of rock masses with rough joints are much greater than those with smooth joints. Further, we observe the rough joints are more damaged than the smooth joints. The quantitative analysis carried through this experiment allows us to describe the process of a stress wave propagating through a joint in the rock mass with three consecutive stages: (1) joint closure; (2) joint compaction; and (3) coordinating deformation. The stress wave and energy attenuation of rock masses caused by the joint occur mainly at the stages 1 and 2.

As one of the most common disasters in deep mine roadway, floor heave has caused serious obstacles to mine transportation and normal production activities. The third section winch roadway in the third mining area of Qitaihe Longhu coal mine has a serious floor heave due to the large buried depths of the roadway and the semicoal rock roadway, and the maximum floor heave is 750 mm. For the problem of floor stability, this paper establishes a mechanical model to analyze the stability of roadway floor heave by analogy with the basement heave of deep foundation pit. It provides a model reference for analyzing the problem of roadway floor heave. Aiming at the problem of roadway floor heave in Longhu coal mine, the roadway model is established by using FLAC3D, and the roadway model after support is established according to the on-site support measures. Through the analysis of the distribution of roadway plastic area, stress nephogram, and displacement field simulation results, the results show that the maximum displacement of roadway roof and floor after support is reduced by 15% and 23%, but the maximum floor heave is still 770 mm, which is close to the measured floor heave of roadway. In order to solve the problem of roadway floor heave and integrate economic factors, this paper puts forward three support optimization schemes, simulates the support effect of each scheme, and finally determines that scheme 3 is the best support optimization scheme. Compared with that under the original support, the amount of floor heave is reduced by 81%, and the final amount of floor heave is 150 mm, which can meet the requirements of roadway floor deformation. The results provide a scheme and guidance for roadway support optimization.

Water is believed to be a significant factor affecting the short- and long-term strength of rocks. To further understand the effect of water on the mechanical behavior of rocks, we first performed a series of water absorption tests and uniaxial compression tests (different soak times) to guide a time-dependent creep test. Then, uniaxial creep tests under different water-stress sequence conditions and the traditional creep test were performed. Finally, the effect of water distribution on rock strength and failure patterns is discussed. The obtained results show that the water-stress sequences would result in different mechanical behaviors of rock, i.e., the specimens were more likely to fail under the condition of loading followed by soaking than under the condition of soaking followed by loading and loading after soaking. Furthermore, the strength of the specimen with a nonhomogeneous water distribution is greater than that of the homogeneous specimen if they have the same water content. Because the nonhomogeneous water distribution is dry inside the specimen, the homogeneous water distribution affects the entire specimen, leading to greater softening. According to the obtained results, the sequence of loading and soaking should be considered when predicting the stability of rock mass engineering.

This study explores how the topology-based measure of connectivity of a three-dimensional discrete fracture network (DFN) can be used to predict flow channelization, a commonly observed phenomenon from the individual fracture scale to the system scale. First, four-intersection types in fracture intersection classification: I, L, T, and X-intersections, in the DFN topological graph were examined to determine the ones most strongly correlated with preferential flow. T- and X-intersections boosted the formation of preferential flow, and thus, a method of combining their densities to obtain topological connectivity measures was designed. This parameter was tested on the flow behavior of numerous DFNs whose fracture lengths followed a power-law distribution. A method to measure flow channeling was adopted to identify the direct links between the flow channeling and connectivity parameters. The results showed that the network-scale degree of flow channeling decreased as network density increased. However, a strong preferential flow was found at a low DFN density, which was controlled by the network density. More homogenous flow fields were observed in high-density networks, where the main flow paths were determined by the T-intersection and X-intersection densities. Finally, an explicit formula (R-M model) for predicting the flow channeling related to the proposed connectivity parameter was developed. Comparing with published data, the proposed flow channeling estimation model was more reliable than the density-based prediction model.

Deep mining roadways are often under high-stress conditions and strong mining-induced disturbances. In the traditional longwall mining method, stress concentration and energy accumulation take place in the surrounding rock of the roadway, often causing dynamic disasters. To this end, the roof-cutting and energy-absorbing (RCEA) control method is proposed. Directional roof presplitting is used to transfer the roof stress and release the energy accumulated in the rock. Importantly, a roadway is automatically formed and coal pillars are eliminated. Moreover, new constant resistance energy-absorbing bolt and cable with high prestress and high elongation are used to control the roadway roof, which are independently developed. As a result, the self-supporting capacity of the rock is improved, and the energy released by the rock deformation is effectively absorbed by the support system. To verify the fidelity of the RCEA method, the numerical comparison test between the automatically formed roadway (AFR) method and the gob side entry driving method is carried out. Compared with the latter, the energy per unit length of AFR is reduced by 4.59*10⁶ J, and the maximum energy density is reduced by 36.6%, which shows that AFR has profound effect on the energy release. Subsequently, the mechanical tests on the new bolt (cable) are carried out. The forces at fracture of the new bolt and cable are 1.63 times and 2.80 times that of the common bolt, and the maximum energy absorbed per unit length are 3.05 times and 2.89 times that of the common bolt. The new bolt (cable) has characteristics of high strength and high energy absorption. Finally, the strength-energy combined support design method and the field application are carried out. Field monitoring results show that the RCEA method can effectively release the energy accumulated in the rock and ensure the safety and stability of the roadway.

During the construction of underground engineering projects, it is often confronted with complex conditions such as high stress, extremely soft rock, and strong disturbance, resulting in stress concentration and energy accumulation in the surrounding rock. Due to insufficient elongation and low safety margin, it is difficult for common anchor cables to effectively absorb the energy released from the rock deformation, which often results in the failure of the supporting structure. To this end, a new material constant resistance energy-absorbing anchor cable (CREAC) is developed with high elongation and high energy absorption properties. To study the mechanical and energy absorption properties of the new anchor cable, the static tensile and dynamic impact tests are conducted. The results between CREAC and structural constant resistance and large deformation anchor cable (CRLDC) are compared. In terms of static mechanical properties, the maximum elongation of CREAC is 16.2%. Based on the commonly used cable length of 10 m in the field, the maximum elongation and the energy absorbed by CREAC are 2.21 times and 2.76 times that of CRLDC, with good static deformation and energy absorption capabilities. In terms of dynamics properties, the average single impact deformation of CREAC is reduced by 88.7% compared to CRLDC, and the energy it can absorb is 7.43 times that of CRLDC, showing advantages in impact deformation resistance and energy absorption. The design method of the constant resistance energy-absorbing support is proposed and the field application of CREAC is carried out. The monitoring results confirm that this new material anchor cable can effectively control the deformation of the surrounding rock.
