Key Strata Inducing Dynamic Disasters Based on Energy Condition: Criterion and Application by Chao Xu, Gang Yang, Haoshi Sun, Liangliang Qin, Kai Wang, Bo Ren, Zhijie Wen

“…Therefore, the foundation and key of preventing dynamic disasters are to distinguish the THRS that could induce coal-rock dynamic disasters and to analyze the laws of rock stratum breaking and energy releasing. The paper proposed the theoretical calculation methods of the energy accumulation and attenuation of rock breaking which is greatly affected by the hanging length of rock strata and the spreading distance. …”

Structural Characteristics Analysis of Overlying Rocks and Prevention Measures with a Long-Wall Face Passing Across Abandoned Roadways: A Case Study by Zeng-Qiang Yang, Chang Liu, Guo-An Wang, Gang-Wei Li, Feng-Shuo Li

“…The results show that the bearing stress in advanced coal pillar is accumulated larger and larger with the width of advanced coal pillar gradually decreasing, and meanwhile, the key stratum in overlying strata would also be sliding instability under some minimum critical width condition; the sudden failure of advanced coal pillar which leads to a sharp increase of bending moment is the key factor that induces fracture of the main roof in front of long-wall face, and the advanced fracture of the main roof can be prevented by changing the stress state of the advanced coal pillar from a two-dimensional state to a three-dimensional state; the method of backfilling abandoned roadway is used to improve the stability of advanced coal pillar and the corresponding monitoring results verify that this method is effective. …”

Evolution Mechanism of Water-Conducting Channel of Collapse Column in Karst Mining Area of Southwest China by Zhengzheng Cao, Yulou Ren, Qinting Wang, Banghua Yao, Xinchao Zhang

“…There are many karst collapse columns in coal seam roof in the southern coal field in China, which are different from those in coal seam floor in the northern coal field, due to the stratum characteristics. The karst collapse column in coal seam roof tends to reactivate and conduct water and induce the serious water inrush disaster, when the karst collapse column communicates with the overlying aquifer. …”

Analysis on the Influence Degree of Deformation Control Factors of Deep-Buried Roadway’s Fractured Surrounding Rock Using Orthogonal Design by Ke Li, Weijian Yu, Youlin Xu, Ze Zhou, Mengtang Xu, Wei Liang

“…Through the roadway surrounding rock drilling, it was found that the stress of the surrounding rock was relieved, resulting in the cavity and separation of the stratum layer. The two sidewalls’ development and roof fractures are mainly tangential, and the original rock state appears only beyond 6.3∼8.2 m. …”
