Study on Overburden Rock Movement and Stress Distribution Characteristics under the Influence of a Normal Fault by Quansen Wu, Peng Kong, Quanlin Wu, Xinggang Xu, Xingyu Wu, Tao Guo

“…Before fault activation, disturbances arising from the mining activities destroy the equilibrium stress environment of the rock system surrounding the fault, and the fault continuously accumulates energy. When the accumulated energy reaches a certain threshold, under the action of normal stress or shear stress, the fault will be activated, and a large amount of energy will be released, which can easily induce a rock burst. …”
