Mechanism of Coal Bump among Mine Group under the Control of Large Geological Body: A Case Study of Yima Mining Area, China by Yizhe Li, Shankun Zhao, Qingxin Qi, Pengzhi Pan, Xiangzhi Wei, Yin Wang, Ningbo Zhang, Yang Zhao, Haitao Chai, Qilin Hao

“…Under the condition of nonsynchronous mining in adjacent working faces, there is a comovement effect similar to lever’s “prying” phenomenon in thick conglomerate beam—the conglomerate strata above larger goaf side induce an overall uplift movement of the corresponding strata above smaller goaf side, and uplift length of the conglomerate strata is related to the mining length, coal pillar width, caving angle, and coal-conglomerate distance. The results of surface subsidence, microseism, and stress in the two working faces verify the conglomerate’s phenomenon of comovement effect and disturbance range and further explain the role of active movement of F16 fault and overall causes of huge thick conglomerate on the coal bump. …”
