Investigation on Coal Pillar Stability between Different Shapes of Gasifier Cavities under High Temperatures during UCG by Yue Shi, Xiaopeng Yun, Jianping Zuo, Zhengdai Li, Yunjiang Sun, Meilu Yu

“…As the temperature of the surrounding rock increases, the width of the stable coal pillar increases exponentially; the reasonable widths for coal pillars between adjacent drop-shaped gasifier cavities are 12 m (room temperature), 17 m (700°C and 850°C), 18 m (1000°C), 19 m (1150°C), and 20 m (1300°C). In contrast, the reasonable width of coal pillars in traditional rectangular gasifier cavities is approximately 21 m, which is significantly higher than that for drop-shaped gasifier cavities.…”

Failure Law and Mechanism of the Rock-Loose Coal Composite Specimen under Combined Loading Rate by Genshui Wu, Weijian Yu, Ze Liu, Zhu Tang

“…The test results show that the rock and loose coal composite specimen without bolt (RCB(0) specimen) are abnormal, and the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and residual strength (RS) of the specimen do not increase but decrease with the increase of loading rate. In contrast, the UCS of the rock-loose coal composite specimen with the bolt (RCB(1∼2) specimen) is consistent with that of the ordinary hard and brittle rock, which increases with the increase of loading rate. …”
