Study on the Mechanism and Control of Rock Burst of Coal Pillar under Complex Conditions by Xingping Lai, Huicong Xu, Jingdao Fan, Zeyang Wang, Zhenguo Yan, Pengfei Shan, Jie Ren, Shuai Zhang, Yanbin Yang

“…At the same time, in order to accurately reflect the true stress environment of coal pillars, the author conducted a physical similarity simulation experiment in the laboratory to study the local mining process of the W1123 working face, and it is found that under the condition of extremely thick and hard roof, the roof will be formed in the gob, the mechanical model of roof hinged structurer is constructed and analyzed, and the results show that the horizontal thrust of roof structure increases with the increase of rotation angle. With the development of mining activities, the self-stable state of the high stress balance in the coal pillar is easily broken by the impact energy formed by the sudden collapse of the key strata. …”

Stability Analysis and Derived Control Measures for Rock Surrounding a Roadway in a Lower Coal Seam under Concentrated Stress of a Coal Pillar by Zhuoyue Sun, Yongzheng Wu, Zhiguo Lu, Youliang Feng, Xiaowei Chu, Kang Yi

“…This is an ideal position for the lower coal seam roadway. (3) The shallowness of the roadway, a small stress concentration coefficient, high level of coal cohesion, large coal internal friction angle, and appropriate lengthening of the working face of the upper coal seam are conducive to the stability of the lower coal seam roadway. (4) Through bolt (cable) support, borehole pressure relief, and pregrouting measures, the roof-to-floor and rib-to-rib convergence of the 13313 return airway is significantly reduced, and the stability of the rock surrounding the roadway is substantially improved. …”
