Experimental Study of Seepage Characteristics of Filling Structures in Deep Roadway by Shaoshuai Shi, Xiangxiang Zhu, Zhiguo Cao, Lin Bu, Zhijie Wen, Zongqing Zhou, Weidong Guo, Ruijie Zhao

“…It is concluded that (1) The seepage instability process of filling medium can be categorized into three stages: the initiation loss of fine clay, the accelerating loss of soil, and the stable status of soil loss. (2) The seepage failure process rate is proportional to the seepage loading rate and inversely proportional to the content of kaolin. (3) The kaolin and sand content of remaining mixture presented initial>bottom>middle>top status. …”
