Characterizing the deformation, failure, and water-conducting fractures evolution of shallow weakly cemented overburden under coal mining by Zhenhua Li, Yandong Zhang, Xuefeng Gao, Xuefeng Gao, Dan Ma, Dan Ma, Limin Fan, Guodong Li, Xiaolei Li, Min He, Zheng Cheng

“…Understanding the collapse mechanisms of shallow, multi-layered, weakly cemented overburden is key to safe and efficient coal mining in central and western China. Hence, we conducted a meter-scale similar physical model experiment using high-resolution digital speckle technology to replicate the deformation and failure patterns of shallowly buried, weakly cemented overburden under mining activities, and to determine the initiation, development, and stability of water-conducting fractures. …”
