Abstract

Backfilling mining is a green mining method. The rational design of the compressed ratio of the backfilling body can reduce backfilling mining costs while avoiding mining-induced environmental damage. At present, the enumeration method is a common design method for the compressed ratio of the backfilling body of backfilling mining under buildings (structures). However, the design method has some problems, such as cumbersome processes and time consumption. Therefore, this paper proposes an intelligent optimization design method of the compressed ratio of backfilling body and constructs the design flow of the method. The method takes economic benefits as the optimization goal and takes the mining-induced subsidence of protected objects to meet their fortification requirements as the constraint condition. Within the feasible region of the compressed ratio, the intelligent optimization algorithm is used to search for the minimum compressed ratio that satisfies the constraints. This paper used the method to design the compressed ratio of the backfilling panel in the Dongtan Coal Mine. The research results show that the method can quickly design the optimal compressed ratio compared with the enumeration method and cut the production cost on the premise of the safety of ground buildings (structures).
