Abstract:Multiple collapse columns have developed in a coal mining area in Qinshui area in Shanxi province. But the water content inside the columns has not been clearly defined, which poses a great risk to the safety production of the mine. In order to effectively cope with this severe situation, it has been decided to use controllable source audio magnetotelluric method to conduct in-depth exploration of the water rich properties of collapsed columns. This method aims to accurately determine the development range of collapse columns and comprehensively analyze their geological morphology and hydrogeological characteristics. By analyzing the controllable source audio magnetotelluric response characteristics of the collapse column, analyzing the structures of the collapse column with different resistivity combinations, and establishing a segmented structured model of the collapse column, it can help relevant personnel intuitively and accurately understand the internal structure and water supply situation of the collapse column, and provide scientific and reasonable water prevention and control measures for subsequent development.
