Dongjiahe Coal Mine belongs to the Carboniferous Permian coal field which has a high degree of karst and fissure development. This paper takes the working face of Dongjiahe Coal Mine as an example; through the microseismic(MS) monitoring system arranged on the working face, the moment tensor theory was used to invert the focal mechanism solution of the anomalous area of the floor MS event; combining the numerical simulation and field data, the underlying floor faults were identified by the stress inversion method. The results show that: 1) Moment tensors were decomposed into three components and the main type of rupture in this area is mixed failure according to the relative criterion; 2) The hidden fault belongs to the reversed fault, its dip angle is approximately 70°, and the rupture length is 21 m determined by the inversion method of the initial dynamic polarity and stress in the focal mechanism; 3) The failure process of the fault is divided into three stages by numerical simulation method combined with the temporal and spatial distribution of MS events. The results can provide a reference for early warning and evaluation of similar coal mine water inrush risks.
