Obtaining a reasonable assessment of the stability of high-level pillars stabilized using
cemented backfill is particularly important when designing deeply-buried metal mines. This …

Flexural toppling is a crucial engineering issue for high sidewalls of underground
powerhouse caverns in low stress regions, when a small angle between cavern axis and …

When gob-side entry retaining technology is used in a fully mechanized caving face, the
load-bearing structure of the filling body and top coal often cannot meet the series of …

Rib spalling is a major issue affecting the safety of steeply inclined coal seam. And the
failure coal face and support system can be affected with each other to generate a vicious …

Micro-seismic (MS) technique can be used to appreciate rock failure process and severity of
damage by quantifying micro-earthquakes in terms of time, location, grade, and energy …

The roadway direction is often parallel to the direction of the maximum principal stress for
the structure arrangement of underground roadway. To study the instability mechanism of …

The retained coal in the end slope of an open-pit mine can be mined by the highwall mining
