Study on Reasonable Roadway Position of Working Face under Strip Coal Pillar in Rock Burst Mine by Hengze Yang, Zhongping Guo, Daozhi Chen, Chao Wang, Fuyu Zhang, Zhaowen Du

“…During the mining period of 1310 working face, the peak value of side abutment pressure is at the position of 3∼4 m; beyond 25 m in front of the coal wall, the deformation of the surrounding rock on the tailentry surface is small. After entering the advanced support section, the deformation of the two sides is mainly longitudinal crack expansion and local shallow small flakes; however, the roof is complete and stable. …”

Experimental and Numerical Study of Failure Behavior and Energy Mechanics of Rock-Like Materials Containing Multiple Joints by Ri-hong Cao, Hang Lin

“…This paper investigates the influence of joint geometry parameters on the characteristic stress, failure pattern, and energy mechanism of multiple jointed rock-like specimens under uniaxial compression. Both the laboratory and numerical results show that the higher value of UCS occurs when α is around 0° and γ changes from 15° to 30° or when α is around 30° and γ changes from 45° to 75°. …”
