The invention relates to a method for determining height of a caving zone of a stope with an internal-staggered layer-staggered position type roadway
layout, and the method is used for solving the problem that in a full-thickness
coal mining method which uses the internal-staggered layer-staggered position type roadway
layout, as a continuous working face is formed, the height of the caving zone of the stope is difficult to accurately determine, the
type selection of equipment and the selection of a
coal mining process cannot be optimal, and then, the safe mining is affected. According to the method for determining the height of the caving zone of the stope with the internal-staggered layer-staggered position type roadway
layout, provided by the invention, a key layer is determined to be an object of study; and furthermore, according to the characteristics of the full-thickness
coal mining method with the internal-staggered layer-staggered position type roadway layout, a plurality of working faces of the stope form an overlapped structure, the stope space on the working faces forming the overlapped structure are taken as a whole stope space, the key layer is judged according to the length of the whole stope space, and then, the height of the caving zone of an overlying rock layer of the mining work face is finally determined, so that the
type selection of the equipment and the selection of the
coal mining process are optimized, and the safe production is guaranteed.
