A single load compression test of rock-coal-rock assemblages (RCRs) containing coal bodies with different inclinations was carried out with the research background of mining deep, large-steep coal seams. It was found that the larger the inclination angle of the coal body in the RCR samples, the larger the compaction stage of the samples and the smaller the uniaxial compressive strength value. In addition, both the maximum acoustic emission (AE) energy of the samples and the cumulative AE energy at the moment of destruction decreased with the increase of the inclination angle of the coal body in the form of exponential relativities.

Considering that the analysis of the structure and type of surface buildings and the geological mining conditions of the mine, a wide strip mining design with a retention width of 70 m and a mining width of 50 m was finally determined by using the pressure arch theory and Wilson's theory, combined with the actual layout of working faces 51,002, 51,004 and 51,006 at the site.The strip mining design is verified by probability integral method and FLAC numerical simulation calculation respectively, The findings indicate that the highest value of earth surface subsidence created by the mining of the wide strip is 210 mm, the surface horizontal deformation value is 1.

In this paper, the pore characteristics of vitrain and durain were analyzed through the experiment and fractal theory. The results indicated that the micropores and microfractures develop in vitrain, and that transitional pores develop in durain.

Three boreholes were designed in the 21104 fully mechanized mining face of Hulusu Coal Mine to implant optical fibers into the floor of the working face. A fiber optic monitoring system was established to monitor the dynamic evolution of stress in the floor rock mass at different mining distances.
