The solid backfilling mining method is one of the methods used to solve problems arising from strata and ground subsidence in underground mines. Through 2D physical analog modeling, 3D numerical simulation, and field measurement, the effects of the solid backfilling method were analyzed, providing a better insight into optimizing the configurations of a working face beneath a city for safety, environmental problems, and its use in production. In the physical modeling, MatchID software was employed to capture the movement characteristics of overlying strata and ground subsidence during mining and backfilling. Key parameters such as vertical displacement, subsidence characteristics, and rock mass stress variations were monitored and analyzed. In the numerical simulation, FLAC3D was used to simulate and analyze the effect of the backfill body on strata and ground subsidence above the backfill working face. For the field measurements, the Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) system was used to confirm the effective control of ground subsidence. With a filling ratio of 80%, the three methods are consistent and show a maximum subsidence value of 0.46 mm (physical simulation), 50.4 mm (numerical simulation), and 47 mm (experienced), significantly lower than the predicted subsidence, which is 281 mm. Therefore, this study demonstrates the reliability and scientific validity of both the physical analog modeling method and the field measurement method in measuring the efficiency of solid backfilling, providing valuable insights into strata and ground subsidence control in longwall coal mining.

According to this study’s findings, slope stability problems in open-pit coal mines can be avoided, and mine wall collapse can be effectively mitigated by the use of cut-and-backfill mining techniques. The main research results are as follows: (1) The stope and waste rock’s geotechnical, physical, and mechanical characteristics were gathered and examined; the geotechnical and mechanical characteristics found in this study largely satisfy the criteria for slope stability analysis. (2) Cemented paste backfill (CPB) materials were made of mine waste rock and fly ash at a desired ratio, mixed with cement as a bond material, and were tested in the laboratory, using a combination of cement percentages of 6%, 8%, and 10% for the cement content and 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40% for the fly ash content, to determine the ideal mix for artificial ground support in underground mines, taking into account both economic and performance factors. (3) By using this model, the changes in CPB strength were investigated under various factors influencing the cement ratio, and limit equilibrium modeling was used with the FLAC-Slope 8.1 program with different cement paste backfill ratio to calculate the factor of safety for each cement percentage after 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 28 days of curing time (CT) to obtain the optimum compressive strength and shear straight of cemented paste backfill with high paste fill shear strength on the slope. (4) The research results are of great significance for the safety of important facilities in open-pit mines and provide a basis for the design and safety implementation of open-pit slope engineering.
