Numerical Simulation of Strata Behavior in Super-Long and Large Mining Height Working Face

In order to study the strata behavior characteristics in super-long and large mining height working face, the FLAC-3D software was used to study the roof displacement and the abutment pressure distribution laws of working faces. The results indicate that: ① the influence range is larger of front abutment pressure in Liuzhuang coal mine 171301 super-long large mining height working face, and reaches to 60m. ② the maximum roof displacement increases with the increase of mining depth and working face length, the increase in magnitude decreases gradually, while the maximum roof displacement sharply increases due to the increase of mining height. ③ the peak abutment pressure increases with the increase of mining depth and mining height, the location of peak abutment pressure transfer to ahead of the coal wall. ④ the effect of working face length on abutment pressure is very feeble, so, the strata behavior characteristics remain almost constant with the increase of face length.
