Key Strata Identification of Overburden Based on Magnetotelluric Detection: A Case Study
The severe overburden failure induced by high-intensity mining is the essence of eco-environmental problems in Northwest China, and the degree of overburden failure is closely related to the location and failure of key strata (KS), which controls part of the strata in the overburden. In order to sol...

The severe overburden failure induced by high-intensity mining is the essence of eco-environmental problems in Northwest China, and the degree of overburden failure is closely related to the location and failure of key strata (KS), which controls part of the strata in the overburden. In order to solve the problems of traditional KS based on mechanical parameters and numerical simulation methods that are time consuming, complex, expensive, and work intensive, it is necessary to find a simple and fast KS identification method. Based on the KS theory, which has been successfully applied in the field practice for nearly 30 years, and its current identification method by calculation or software, the magnetotelluric (MT) detection method was selected. According to the principle of MT detection method, the main influencing factors were analyzed. By summing up the relationship between the geological characteristics of the KS and its apparent resistivity (AR), the AR trends of ten kinds of lithology are given, and the identification mechanism of the MT detection method is revealed. Through the field measurement in Daliuta coalmine and the accuracy verification by the theory calculation, the KS obtained by the two methods are consistent. The results show that the MT detection method can be used to quickly identify the KS, and it is simple, convenient, and fast. It provides a reference for optimizing mining technology, mine pressure control, and mine precision. |
