In this article, the stability of old underground space in Sanheming Iron Mine is analyzed with the FLAC^3D numerical simulation software as well as distribution laws of stress, displacement and plastic zone of old space with effects of self weight stress field are studied. It is aimed at judging whether old space is stable to analyze the stability of old space with effects of its self weight stress field in order to provide effective preventive measures for managing old space of mine as well as ensure safe and efficient mining of mineral resources. The stability of old space with effects of self weight stress field is considered to be good through 3D modeling and numerical calculations. The study results can provide references for stability analysis of underground goaf in similar iron mines, which is with certain guiding role in ensuring safe production and reducing geological disaster risks as well as significances to promote sustainable development of mineral resources of Sanheming Iron Mine.
