Abstract

With increasing mining depth, the mining methods for steeply inclined medium‐thick ore bodies have become unsuitable. In this paper, by integrating the roof‐pillar induced caving technology, through technical fusion and reconstruction, a combined mining method of roof‐pillar induced caving and non‐pillar sublevel caving has been formulated. The five core parameters of the combined mining method (the ultimate length of the temporary top pillar a1, thickness h, maximum hanging length a2, initial induced caving step distance L1, and continuous induced caving step distance L2) are crucial for ensuring the stability of the mining system structure. A novel method combining qualitative and quantitative approaches is proposed to calculate the five core parameters. Initially, a1 is obtained through rock mass evaluation and the hydraulic radius inverse method. Subsequently, using Hu Haichang's thick plate theory, the relationship between the length and thickness of the thick plate is derived, and h and a2 are calculated by combining different trial functions and boundary conditions. Finally, L1 and L2 are determined based on the mining process of the combined mining method and the calculated values of a1, a2, and h. Taking the 37# experimental stope at the +220 m level of the Daxin manganese mine as a background, the calculated core parameters a1, h, a2, L1 and L2 are 47, 12, 39, 8, and 4.5 m, respectively. These calculated parameters ensure safe mining operations. The proposed combined mining method and core parameters calculation method can provide a technological breakthrough for the mining of medium‐depth ore bodies.

期刊介绍: The journal welcomes manuscripts that substantially contribute to the understanding of the complex mechanical behaviour of geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete, ice, snow, and powders), through innovative experimental techniques, and/or through the development of novel numerical or hybrid experimental/numerical modelling concepts in geomechanics. Topics of interest include instabilities and localization, interface and surface phenomena, fracture and failure, multi-physics and other time-dependent phenomena, micromechanics and multi-scale methods, and inverse analysis and stochastic methods. Papers related to energy and environmental issues are particularly welcome. The illustration of the proposed methods and techniques to engineering problems is encouraged. However, manuscripts dealing with applications of existing methods, or proposing incremental improvements to existing methods – in particular marginal extensions of existing analytical solutions or numerical methods – will not be considered for review.
