Deformation and Instability Mechanisms of a Shaft and Roadway Under the Influence of Rock Mass Subsidence by Junfeng Rong, Bin Wang

“…The results indicate the following: (1) Increasing MSD intensifies tensile stress on overlying strata results in vertical displacement about one-fifth of the MSD at 100 m above the roadway. (2) As subsidence increases, the disturbance range of the overlying rock, shaft failure extent, and number of tensile failure units rise. MSD transitions expand the shaft failure range and evolve tensile failure from sporadic to large-scale uniformity. (3) Shaft failure arises from the combined effects of instability and deformation in the horsehead and connecting roadways, compounded by geological conditions. …”
