Study on Reasonable Layout of Upper Protective Layer for Prevention Rock Burst under Coal Seam Group with Close Quarters Conditions by Hui-Wu Jin, Zeng-Qiang Yang

“…A new stress superposition area is formed at the middle to lower end part of advance mining face of panel 3203 for the stage II under the optimal layout scheme conditions, and the maximum stress concentration coefficient is about 2.4; the original L-shaped stress superposition area is gone due the transfer and release of stress, and the optimal layout scheme has a very significant effect on the prevention and control of the subsequent rock burst accidents; the monitoring results of working resistance of hydraulic supports and surrounding rock deformation indicate that the overall pressure relief of the surrounding rock in advanced segment of 3205 tailgate can be effectively realized. …”
