Linkage Analysis between Solid-Fluid Coupling and the Strength Reduction Method for Karst Cave Water Inrush in Mines by Yanlin Zhao, Jian Liao, Qiang Liu, Yang Li, Jianchao Cheng

“…The reason leading to Karst water inrush of Qiyi Mine is that without advanced boreholes, the water-proof rock pillar is set so small that it could not possess safety margin, so the confined Karst cave water breaks the water-proof rock pillar and bursts out. Combining the solid fluid coupling theory, pipe flow theory, and strength reduction method, the nonlinear mechanical response of confined Karst cave water inrush is studied, which provides a new study method for the whole process of confined Karst cave water inrush.…”
