Disaster-inducing mechanism of the movement of high-position combination cantilever plate structures in non-uniform and extra-thick coal seam mining by ZHU Weibing, GUO Chunlei, LUO Xun, CHAI Faying, XIE Jianlin, CHAI Yi

“…The mining of non-uniform and extra-thick coal seams significantly affects the roof breaking structure in the mining field, which greatly impacts the mining pressure behavior in the working face. To reveal the mechanism behind the occurrence of large-energy events in the roof during the mining of extra-thick coal seams at a deep mine in Gansu Province, numerical simulation, physical simulation, borehole detection, and internal rock movement monitoring were used to investigate the roof breaking structure and disaster-inducing mechanism in the mining of non-uniform and extra-thick coal seams. …”
