Abstract: In the process of coal resources development, a large number of strip coal pillars have been left behind in the coal mines in central–eastern China. With the increase in coal mining depth year by year, the rock burst threat of strip coal pillars is becoming more and more prominent due to the influence of buried depth, geological structure, gob and other factors. Backfilling mining is the main means to recover the residual strip coal pillar. In order to investigate the effect of backfilling mining on the prevention and control of rock burst, taking the paste backfilling workface 1# of Gucheng coal mine as the engineering background, a comprehensive research method of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and field monitoring was used to study the evolution of stress and of the overburden spatial structure of the backfilling workface under the control of the backfilled ratio. The results showed that the backfilling mining controls the movement and deformation of overburden by reducing the activity range of roof strata. The overburden fracture development height decreases with the increase in backfilled ratio, but there is a boundary effect influenced by the roof deflection before backfilling and the defective distance of roof contact. With the increase in backfilled ratio, the concentration coefficient of front abutment pressure, the vertical displacement of the roof and the development height of the plastic zone of overlying strata decreased obviously, which indicates that filling mining can effectively control the stress of surrounding rock and the movement of overlying strata. The field monitoring data showed that the influence range of the front abutment pressure of the paste backfilling workface was about 90 m and the maximum stress of the surrounding rock of the two entries did not exceed 7 MPa. The average daily frequency of microseism was 1.34, and the average daily total energy of microseism was 1.80 + 10 3 J, which decreased by 69% and 90%, respectively, compared with the caving method working face with similar geological conditions. The data above showed that the backfilling mining can effectively reduce the working face stress level and dynamic load strength to achieve the effect of prevention and control of rock burst.
