Abstract Based on summarizing existing research status of mining-induced fractures developing features in overlying strata and engineering application domains of radon gas,geophysical and chemical properties of radon gas are applied attemptly to the field of mining engineering firstly;and the radioactive measurement method is introduced to detect the mining-induced fractures development process in overlying strata and its containing water quality in underground coal mining. Then,a comprehensive test system for detecting mining-induced fractures in overlying strata on surface with radon(CTSR) is independently developed,which has the advantages of installation-dismantlement facility,physical simulation model laying convenience and achieving fast two or three dimensional physical simulation experiment. The CTSR has been used to two-dimensional similar physical simulation for mining coalface 11203 of Daliuta coal mine in Shendong mining area,the dynamic evolution characteristics of mining-induced fractures in overlying strata and its corresponding law with radon concentration change have been obtained. Meanwhile,the feasibility of detecting mining-induced fractures in overlying strata on surface with radon also has been validated further in this experiment.
