Research status of roof water and sand bursting disaster in thick bedrock stope of coal seam by Zhaoxing Liu, Shuning Dong, Xiaoming Guo, Xiaolong Li, Dongliang Chen

“…Three principal research components essential for elucidating the disaster mechanism have been systematically established: the feedback characteristics and response relationships of water-induced deterioration in weakly cemented strata to influencing factors; The variation patterns of stress conditions in overlying hard rock strata and basic roof with the deterioration of weakly cemented formations; The dynamic mechanisms of inrush from deteriorated weakly cemented strata and channel evolution under incremental loading. An integrated proactive prevention strategy has been proposed, featuring advanced hard rock pre-splitting and grouting modification of weakly cemented formations, which fundamentally alters the objective conditions for disaster initiation. …”
