Damage evolution characteristics of coal body in borehole at deep roadway wall and strength weakening mechanism of surrounding rock in borehole by Ke DING, Hualei ZHANG, Lianguo WANG, Jiaxing GUO, Yaoyao MENG

“…The results show that compared with the undrilled samples, the coal samples with different stress types are affected by the stress environment and the borehole diameter. With the drilling and the increase of the borehole diameter, the stress drop phenomenon of the deep coal samples in the roadway wall disappears after the peak stress, which is beneficial to reduce the sudden release of the energy of the samples, while the shallow coal samples in the roadway wall cannot eliminate the stress drop phenomenon. …”
