Popis: Abstract Traditional cemented paste backfilling continues to face the shortcomings such as paste leakage, poor adaptability to geological structures and insufficient roof-contact. To solve the limitations, a novel L-shaped cemented paste backfilling (LCPB) technology was proposed in this study. It is to set L-shaped filling zones and partition zones in the goaf to perform interval and multiple filling. A mechanical model was established to calculate backfilling body strength, widths of L-shaped filling zones and partition zones and backfilled ratio and etc. The results of a case study showed that: (1) The LCPB mining has a high backfilled ratio, without prominent ground pressure. The maximum values of roof-to-floor convergence of the working face and roadway were 58 mm and 259 mm, respectively. It could effectively control the deformation of surrounding rock and achieve roadway retention. (2) When the floor strata were intact, the maximum floor damage depth was less than 4 m, and the floor near the fault was 10–12 m. The secondary lift height of the confined water was about 5 m near the fault. The LCPB mining allows for safety mining above a confined aquifer. (3) The maximum surface inclination and curvature were 1.75 mm/m and 0.06 mm/m2, respectively. The draw angle was 11.3°, and the subsidence factor was 0.085. The ground surface deformation was reduced to be less than that allowed in the first level of the building damage (inclination and curvature of 3 mm/m and 0.2 mm/m2, respectively).
