Research on Surface Failure Law of Working Faces in Large Mining Height and Shallow Buried Coal Seam by Zhenhua Li, Yingkun Pang, Yongsheng Bao, Zhanyuan Ma

“…In the process of high-intensity and large-space mining in Shendong mining area, various surface cracks are generated on the surface, resulting in serious damage to the surface buildings and the local ecological environment. To study the influence of overlying rock movement on surface failure of near-field single key strata of near-shallow buried and large mining height working face, the relationship between overburden movement, strata pressure appearance, and surface failure at working face 52307 in Daliuta mining area was analyzed by field measurement and numerical simulation. …”
