When mining near the fault can cause the fault to slip and release energy, resulting in rockburst and posing a significant safety risk to coal mine production. This paper proposes a numerical simulation method, based on FLAC3D numerical simulation, for calculating the dynamic response of fault slip below the impact of mining. The release patterns of energy from fault slip are compared between mining via the fault from the hanging wall and mining via the fault from the footwall. The dynamic response characteristics of coal and rock mass under the disturbance of fault slip induced dynamic loading are revealed. This research suggests that the fault slip seismic moment (M₀) of the panel mined via the fault from footwall is substantially higher than from hanging wall. Moreover, the disturbance of the footwall panel mining via the fault leads to a more severe disturbance of the surrounding rock mass, resulting in a higher risk of rockburst. Plastic failure of the rock surrounded in the mining area under the strong dynamic loading of fault slip leads to a significant reduction in peak abutment stress, releasing tremendous energy. When the disturbance caused by fault slip dynamic load is relatively small, the maximum abutment stress increases, and the dynamic load increases the energy storage of surrounding rock. Based on energy theory, an energy criterion for the occurrence of fault slip type rockburst has been proposed. The results suggest that strong fault slip dynamic load has an obvious inducing effect on rockburst, and the stronger the dynamic load and greater static load of the rock, the more the manifestation of rockburst.

The surface morphology of a structural plane is an important factor affecting the shear mechanical behavior of a structural plane. A direct shear test of a rough structural plane is carried out, and the shear mechanical behavior and slip weakening characteristics of a structural plane under different levels of roughness and normal stress conditions are studied; the normal stress conditions ranged from 2 MPa to 14 MPa. The results show that the shear strength and shear stress drop of a rough structure increase as the normal stress and roughness levels also increase. The higher the roughness level, or the greater the normal stress level, the more elastic energy the structural plane accumulates before shear failure. Once the shear stress is great enough and shear failure occurs, the shear slip of the rough structural plane shows obvious stick slip characteristics, and it releases more energy. Under high normal stress conditions, the convex body of the structural plane is damaged earlier in the process of direct shear, and the duration of convex body damage and failure is longer. After direct shear, the roughness of the structural plane decreases exponentially as normal stress levels increase. The shear slip of the structural plane, which has a significant degree of roughness under high normal stress conditions, shows a significant number of slip weakening characteristics, which is the main reason that the stick slip of the structural plane releases a lot of energy.

The gob-side entry driving in deep mines with soft rock exhibits a complex deformation and instability mechanism. This complexity leads to challenges in roadway stability control which greatly affects the coal mine production succession and safe and efficient mining. This paper takes the gob-side entry in Liuzhuang Coal Mine as the background. By adopting the method of theoretical analysis, a dynamic model of the roof subsidence in the goaf is established. The calculation indicates that achieving the stable subsidence of the basic roof and the equilibrium of the lateral abutment stress within the goaf requires a minimum of 108.9 days, offering a theoretical foundation for selecting an optimal driving time for the gob-side entry. The control technologies and methods of gob-side entry through grouting modification and high-strength support are proposed. Enhancing the length of anchor ropes and the density of bolt (cable) support to improve the role of the roadway support components can be better utilized, so the role of the support components of the roadway can be better exerted. The method of grouting and the reinforcement of coal pillars can effectively improve the carrying capacity of coal pillars. The numerical simulation is used to analyze the deformation law of gob-side entry. The study reveals significant deformation in the coal pillar and substantial roof subsidence, highlighting that maintaining the stability of the coal pillar is crucial for ensuring roadway safety. Following the grouting process, the deformation of the coal pillar and roof subsidence decreased by 16.7% and 7.1%, respectively. This demonstrates that coal pillar grouting not only mitigates pillar deformation but also provides effective control over roof subsidence. This study offers a quantitative calculation method to ascertain the excavation time of gob-side entry, and suggests that the application of high-strength support and the practice of coal pillar grouting can effectively maintain the steadiness of gob-side entry in deep mines with soft rock.

When mining operations are conducted near faults can cause the fault to slip and release energy, resulting in a rock burst and posing a significant safety risk to coal mine production. This paper proposes a numerical simulation method, based on FLAC3D numerical simulation, for calculating the dynamic forces of fault slippage below the impact of mining. The release patterns of energy from fault slip are compared and analyzed between mining across the fault from the hanging wall and mining across the fault from the footwall. The dynamic response characteristics of the mining area under the disturbance of fault slip-induced loading are revealed. This research suggests that the fault slip seismic second (M₀) of the panel mined via the fault from the footwall is substantially higher thru from striking wall. Moreover, the disturbance of the footwall mining face across the fault leads to a more severe disturbance of the surrounding rock mass, resulting in a higher risk of dynamic pressure. Plastic failure of the rock surrounded in the mining area under the strong dynamic loading of fault slip leads to a significant reduction in peak abutment stress, releasing tremendous energy. When the disturbance caused by fault slip-induced loading is relatively small, the maximum abutment tension increases, and the dynamic load increases the energy storage of stope surrounding rock. Based on energy theory, an energy criterion for the occurrence of fault slip-type rockburst has been proposed. The results suggest that strong fault slip dynamic load has an obvious inducing effect on rock burst, and the stronger the dynamic load and greater static load of the rock surrounding the stope, the more the manifestation of rockburst.
