Influence of Mine Earthquake Disturbance on the Principal Stress of the Main Roadway near the Goaf and Its Prevention and Control Measures by Penghui Guo, Jiazhuo Li, Xiqing Hao, Heng Cui, Lihua Tian, Wenhao Xie, Jiaqi Chu

“…With the reduction and depletion of shallow energy, the mining depth of coal around the world is increasing year by year, and the mining depth of some coal mines in China has reached kilometers. The main roadway near the goaf with the deep high static stress is very easy to be damaged after being disturbed by the mine earthquake. …”

Evaluation of frost heave model using measured values for temperature and water intake rate near the freezing front by Takeshi Ishizaki, Satoshi Nishimura

“…With a kinetic model, in which the water intake rate is determined by the chemical potential difference between the ice lens and the nearby water film, it was found that the calculated results and the actual measurement results corresponded well when the self-diffusion coefficient of the water film near the ice lens was used as a fitting parameter.…”
