Abstract:Aiming at the regularity of deep mining strata movement, through the application of plate theory and discrete medium theory in establishing the coupling model of the deep mining strata composite medium, the continuum media and the non-continuum media were coupled into the compound media giant system, and the stress of compound layer and strain coupling relationship were established. The accuracy of forecasting surface subsidence in deep mining conditions was improved. The deep mining was simulated through 3-D numerical value by the FLAC3D finite difference software, and the coupling relationship and coupling layer in the strata composite layer were analyzed. The results show that, under the deep mining condition, the coupling zone is in the position of coal seam roof with the thickness of 15−20 times, on which, the stress−strain has much difference on the coupling zone. Considering interlayer effect of coupling zone can improve the prediction precision of surface subsidence.
