Abstract: To ascertain the differences in the development height of mining-induced overburden water-conducting fractured zones in the No. 2 coal seam of the Huangling mining area, four typical mines were taken as research objects to analyze the influence of mining height, burial depth, and inclined length of the working face on the ratio of water-conducting fractured zone height to mining height. Measured data of the water-conducting fractured zone were obtained using both the ground exploration borehole method and the underground upward borehole segmented water injection method, and were compared with calculated values from the empirical formula in the Regulations for Coal Pillar Retention and Coal Mining under Buildings, Water Bodies, Railways and Main Roadways. The influence of each parameter on the fractured zone-to-mining height ratio was evaluated through single-factor normalization analysis. All measured heights are significantly larger than the values calculated from the regulatory formula. The single-factor normalization analysis shows that the normalized value of mining height exhibits an inverse trend with the fractured zone-to-mining height ratio; working faces with similar inclined lengths display markedly different ratios; and there is no monotonic correlation between burial depth and the ratio. No stable corresponding relationship exists between mining height, inclined length of the working face, burial depth, and the fractured zone-to-mining height ratio, and none of these factors alone can explain the anomalous fluctuations of the ratio. It is suggested that subsequent studies further analyze the influence of other factors such as overburden lithology and geological structure on the ratio. This study provides a scientific basis for the precise prevention and control of roof water in the Huangling mining area and for the prediction of water-conducting fractured zones in mining areas with similar conditions.
