Investigation on overburden failure and subsurface subsidence characteristics in fully mechanized top-coal caving of “Three-Soft” Thick coal seams

Abstract This study investigates overburden deformation and surface subsidence mechanisms in fully mechanized top-coal caving (FMTC) mining of “three-soft” (soft coal seam, soft roof, and soft floor) thick coal seams through physical similarity modeling, addressing aquifer disruption and intense sur...
