Failure Mechanisms and the Control of a Longwall Face with a Large Mining Height within a Shallow-Buried Coal Seam by Haijun Wang, Yingjie Liu, Yuesong Tang, Hao Gong, Guoliang Xu

“…Our results show that the failure region inward of the longwall face is small in shallow-buried coal seams, and the damage degree of the exposed coal wall is low. The medium and higher sections of the coal wall display a dynamic failure mode, while the broken coal blocks, given their initial speed, threaten the safety of coal miners. …”
