A mechanical model to control the top-coal deformation is established in accordance with the structural characters of the gob-side entry surrounding rock for the fully-mechanic top-coal caving; the analytical solution of top coal roof-sag curve is deduced with Winkler elastic foundation beam model. By means of a calculating and analytic program, the top coal roof-sag values are calculated under the conditions of different supporting intensities, widths of narrow pillars and stiffness of top coal; meanwhile, the relationship between the roof-sag values and supporting intensity, width of narrow pillars and stiffness of top coal is analyzed as well. With the actual situation of the gob-side entry taken into consideration, the parameters of top-coal control are determined and a supporting plan is proposed for the top-coal control,which is proved to be reliable and effective by on-site verification. Some theoretical guidance and advice are put forward for the top-coal deformation control in gob-side entry for fully mechanized top-coal caving face.

The backfilling mining technology is a type of high-efficiency coal mining technology that is used to address the environmental issues caused by the caving mining technology.In this paper,the mechanical model of symmetrical laminated plate representing the overburden movement caused by the backfilling mining technology is established,and the governing differential equation of the motion of the overburden is derived.The boundary conditions of the mechanical model are put forward,and the analytical solution of the overburden movement and surface subsidence is obtained.The numerical model of the overburden movement and surface subsidence,under mining with backfilling,is established by means of the FLAC3D numerical software,which aims to systematically study the influence of backfilling compactness,mining thickness,and mining depth on the overburden movement and surface subsidence in backfilling mining.When the compactnessηis less than 70%,the overburden movement and surface subsidence is greater,while whenηis greater than 70%,the overburden movement and surface subsidence is reduced significantly.On this basis,the control mechanism of surface subsidence and overburden movement in backfilling mining is obtained.The suitable backfilling compactness is the key to controlling surface subsidence and overburden movement in backfilling mining.
