1、 Underground MiningMost present-day mining in Europe occurs under 2000 to 4000 ft of overburden, as more easily mined coal deposits have been depleted. At this depth most mines are developed as shaft mines. All personnel, material, and coal have to be hoisted trough these shaft. Considering the two

2、factors of hoisting capacity and required length of shaft, a considerable investment is necessary to reach the coal-bearing strata. The requires huge investments. Openings at this depth have to be equipped with costly supports, and periodic reworking and repair is necessary.Mines not only extend hor

3、izontally but also vertically through the development of new levels. The life of the mines is thus extend considerably, and surface installations can be amortize over a longer period.The more limited reserves have forced companies into mining less favorable deposits, and European government require

4、that all possible deposits be mined to conserve the nations energy resources. These factor and the large percentage of inclined seams and faults make mining very difficult and costly. The population density and the heavy surface buildup cause additional expense in the form of payments for subsidence

5、 damage to surface structures. Therefore, backfilling is frequently practiced to reduce subsidence. The close spacing of faults often severely limits the size of a mining section, forcing frequent moves and excessive development work.The thickness of the overburden results in very high ground pressu

6、re. This would require extremely large pillars if the room and pillar method was applied. Additionally, support is required for any opening, adding prohibitive costs to a multiple-entry room and pillar operation.As a result, single-entry longwall operations requiring the minimum number of entries an

7、d allowing maximum recovery of resources is the mining method almost exclusively practiced.Shaft mines dominate the European coal mining industry. Shafts 20 to 30 ft in diameter, with circular cross section, lined with masonry, concrete, or steel are the dominant means of gaining access to the coal-

8、bearing strata. They are often extended beyond the last mining level to provide for future expansion. As in the Unite States, shafts are developed by drilling, blasting, and excavating or by large-diameter shaft-boring equipment. Shaft boring is more frequently used, particularly on the smaller and

9、shorter subshaft, which connect the different levels but do not extend to the surface.Haulage in the shaft is usually accomplished by hoisting of the filled mine cars on multistage cages or by skips. Pumping of coal slurry is also done in special cases.The complex system of forces and the resulting

10、rock mechanical problems developed by mining activities at different levels result in significant differences between European and US underground development. The rock mechanical interaction of the extraction operations at the various levels require that all deposits be mined as completely as possib

11、le. Pillars left after mining create zones of extreme and often unmanageable ground control problem, as well as a high probability of roof bounce. Since the number of entries is kept to a minimum because of cost, no bleeder systems are provided. If retreat mining is practiced, only two entries are a

12、dvanced in to a new mining area.Panels are laid out as large as possible. The large-panel layout is used as another means of reducing the number of entries. Mindedout panels are sealed off to prevent spontaneous combustion through the removal of oxygen.The main levels, with extensive entry systems,

13、are used for coal, supply, and personnel haulage and for ventilation. They are often spaced with little regard to the position of the coal seams, because the deposits are reached selectively through other means. In the past, 165-or330-ft intervals were selected while increasing ground pressures and

14、development and maintenance increase substantially, requiring large volumes of air for cooling. As a result, entry cross sections at these levels have to be increase.Fig.9.1 German multilevel, multiseam shaft-type coal mine.Underground facilities：(1) main shaft with skip hoisting;(2) exhaust ventila

20、以矿井的服务年限被极大地拓宽，并且地表的安装设备费用也能够在很长的一个时期内得以缓冲。有限的资源储备迫使公司开采要去开采那些并不是很乐观的煤层，并且欧洲各国政府要求采出所有可采的煤层以保护国家的能源。这些因素由于大比率的煤线和断层以至于煤炭的开采非常困难并且价格昂贵。由于人口密度的增长和地表建筑的增加，从而造成地表的沉陷对于建筑物的破坏，以至于增加了额外的成本。因此，采空区填充是最常用的防治地表沉陷的实践措施。过小的断层间距常常严重地限制采区的尺寸，因而不得不频繁搬家，并造成过大的开拓工程量。上部覆盖层的厚度导致了相当大的地层压力。如果采用房柱式开采方法，就需要留异常巨大的煤柱。另外，任何一个

21、工作面都需要支架，并且增加了额外的费用对于多种平巷峒室的支撑措施。地下开采统治着欧洲的煤炭开采工业。井筒直径大约20到30英寸，一般采用钢筋混凝土砌碹的圆形断面，作为主要的连接巷道连接到含煤地层。他们一般被延深到超过最后一个开采水平来满足未来的拓展。如在美国，立井是用打眼、放炮和挖掘方法或用大直径钻井设备来开凿的。钻井时经常被采用的，尤其对于小型的长度较短的连接各个水平但不通往地面的暗井。井筒中一般采用罐笼中承载矿车或箕斗进行提升。在特殊情况下采用煤泥泵出的形式开采。这种力的复杂的系统和岩石力学的合成的问题在煤矿开采活动不同的水平在欧洲和美国存在巨大的不同。在多个水平煤层进行开采时，岩石之间相

22、互力的作用要求尽可能的将煤全部采出。煤矿开采后留下的煤柱形成了一个压力极高并且相当难以维护的空间，具有很高的发生顶板岩石突出的可能性。由于资金成本的问题，巷道入口的数目保持在最小值。没有回风巷的系统开始形成。如果采用后退式的开采方法，在采煤区段只有两个入口。区段一般被尽可能的大。大区段的布置方式其实从另一个角度说就是为了减少入口的数目。开采过后的区域一般打上封闭，以切断氧气的来源从而防止采空区煤层自燃。在布置有众多巷道主要的水平，它被用来运送煤炭、供给以及人员的运输和通风。他们经常空出一部分位置的煤柱不采，因为储量已经达到并通过别的方法进行有选择性的开采。在过去，165或330英尺的间隔被有选

23、择的当逐渐增加的矿山压力和开拓的维护费用迫使增加到660或990英尺。温度随着深度的增加也急剧增加，需要大容量的空气从而达到降温的目的。以至于这些水平的采区巷道也就要求增加。图9.1 德国多水平、多工作面立井井筒式矿井地下设备：(1) 箕斗提升主井；(2) 担负抽出式通风的并配有多层罐笼的副井；(3) 第三水平井底车场;(4) 带有圆柱形煤仓的暗井;(5) 有矿车提升设备的暗井;(6) 主要大巷;(7) 主要大巷;(8) 采区或盘区平巷;(9) 掘进机；(10) 采用刨煤机的长壁工作面采区;(11)采用采煤机的长壁工作面采区;(12) 采用人工风镐的急倾斜煤层的长壁工作面采区；(13) 采用刨
