Abstract

The safety monitoring of coal roadways roof is the key to prevent roof accidents and ensure coal mines safety. However, the monitoring blind zones caused by traditional methods is one of the main reasons of frequent roof accidents. To ensure the safety of coal mines production, a novel roof monitoring method is proposed in this paper, which is based on the distributed optical fiber sensing (DOFS) and the pre-stretched optical fiber layout at fixed points (POFLF). The research of this approach has been carried out through analysis of DOFS optical fiber strain monitoring and POFLF theory, and with the help of indoor optical fiber strain experiment. Finally the approach was applied in the field monitoring of a coal roadway roof. Aforementioned verified the optical fiber strain distribution not only accurately indicate the roof settlement range, but also qualitatively and quantitatively demonstrate the roof subsidence displacement. The feasibility and validation of the approach as a supplementary or auxiliary resorts in roof safety monitoring were confirmed. The research in this paper not only has important reference significance for the safety monitoring of coal roadways roof under similar geological and production conditions, but be of helpful for improving the coal mine safety as well.
