Overburden failure characteristics and fracture evolution rule under repeated mining with multiple key strata control by Sun Chaoshang, Shi Chaoyang, Zhu Zhiming, Lin Haixiao, Li Zhenhua, Du Feng, Cao Zhengzheng, Lu Pengtao, Liu Lin

“…The overburden failure pattern evolves from the single “trapezoidal” structure of initial mining to a "double-trapezoidal" composite structure, with fracture evolution following the pattern of "slow expansion during initial disturbance-leap increase due to cumulative damage from repeated mining-gradual stabilization regulated by key strata". (3) Field monitoring using the double-end water plugging and borehole observation joint detection method measures the fracture zone height after 6# coal seam mining as 38 m (height-to-mining ratio of 13.6 based on a measured seam thickness of 2.8 m), and the fracture zone height in the exclusively mined area of the 7# coal seam as 100.33 m (height-to-mining ratio of 12.4 based on a measured seam thickness of 8.09 m). …”
