An Influence Study of Face Length Effect on Floor Stability under Water-Rock Coupling Action by Baojie Fu, Bo Wang

“…The results show the following: (1) the face length effect is one of the main influence factors of the failure mode and failure degree of surrounding rocks in the stope; (2) as the face length increases, the obvious pressure relief zone of surrounding rocks presents a staged change, and the obvious pressure relief zone at the seam roof and floor is in an obvious “reverse saddle shape”; (3) the closer to the seam floor, the more remarkable the rock softening characteristic because of the compaction action of gangues caving from the roof; and (4) the rock mass close to the seam floor undergoes local tensile failure, and the water-resisting floor near the coal wall at two sides mainly bears compaction-shear action, leading to compression-shear failure of the rock mass at the floor and formation of water-conducting fractures. …”
