ABSTRACT: Coal
mining-induced surface subsidence poses significant ecological and
infrastructural challenges, necessitating a comprehensive study to ensure safe
mining practices, particularly in underwater conditions. This project aims to
address the extensive impact of coal mining on the environment, infrastructure,
and overall safety, focusing on the Shigong River area above the working face.
The study employs qualitative and quantitative analyses, along with on-site
engineering measurements, to gather data on crucial parameters such as coal
seam characteristics, roof rock lithology, thickness, water resistance, and
structural damage degree. The research encompasses a multidisciplinary
approach, involving mining, geology, hydrogeology, geophysical exploration,
rock mechanics, mine surveying, and computational mathematics. The importance
of effective safety measures and prevention techniques is emphasized, laying
the foundation for research focused on the Xingyun coal mine. The brief concludes by highlighting the potential
economic and social benefits of this project and its contribution to valuable
experience for future subsea coal mining.
