Numerical Simulation of Fluid-Solid Coupling in Surrounding Rock for River Stope Mining

Mining disturbance will induce further weakening of faults and rock bridges, improve rock mass permeability and, in serious cases, conduct surface rivers to cause disasters. A numerical calculation model of river-fault in the mining area is established. Based on the fluid-solid coupling theory of rock mass, the influence of mining disturbance on the development and evolution process of rock bridge rupture and river-fault-stope potential seepage channel is simulated and calculated. Research studies show that under the disturbance of ore body mining, it is possible to form a channel from the river to fault to seepage and drainage in the stope. The disturbance of ore body mining has no great adverse effect on the stability of the rock mass at the top of F2 fault. The rock mass damage caused by mining is only distributed in local areas, and the rock bridge between the river, fault, and stope is not completely connected. The fracture of mining rock mass leads to the increase in permeability of rock mass, and seepage tends to spread in the direction of the fault, but there is no obvious through drainage channel from surface water to the stope. The results of research provide technical guidance for the mine to use the filling mining method after the river does not change the road safety and reliability certification and can also provide reference for similar mines
