The crushed gangue materials which are filled into the goaf in solid-backfilling coal mining become the main body of bearing the overburden after the tamping process. Its resistance to deformation is the key to control overburden movement and surface subsidence. Particle breakage affects the resistance to deformation of filling materials. In this paper, a confined compression test of crushed gangue under different loading rates was designed, and the acoustic emission (AE) signal was monitored in the process of confined compression. The test results showed that with the increase of loading rate, the anti-deformation ability of crushed gangue showed a dynamic change process of increasing, decreasing, and then increasing again. With the increase of loading rate, the breakage degree of the samples decreased, the proportion of large-sized gangue increased, the growth period of AE counts showed an obvious hysteresis phenomenon, and the AE activity level of the gangue increased gradually. The research results can not only provide a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the mechanical properties of crushed gangue filling materials but also provide a reference for the engineering application of solid-filling coal mining.
