Abstract: The mechanism of strong mine pressure control in the initial mining and caving stages under multiple key strata (MKS) was studied by theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and field measurement in order to avoid the dynamic pressure accidents caused by the MKS breaking in interactions in the initial mining and caving stage. Panel 13103 (P13103) in the Shan Xi Jinshen Shaping Coal Mine was used sas the study site. The overlying structure and the breaking characteristics of the key strata were analyzed and the overlying structure model of longwall top-coal caving (LTC) under MKS was established. Reasonable initial mining heights and initial caving positions were determined and the spatial and temporal characteristics of ground pressure and roof structure of the working face in the mining process were obtained. The results show that, in the scheme of starting top-coal caving after the working face advanced 20 m, the support damage ratios were all greater than 50% with roof weighting, which is prone to induce prop crash accidents. The dynamic load formed by the second weighting was greater than first weighting under the MKS. The duration of mine pressure tended to be stable with fully developed caving zone heights. With the designed mining scheme, the safe and efficient mining of P13103 is guaranteed.
