Quantitative Characterization of Overburden Rock Development Pattern in the Goaf at Different Key Stratum Locations Based on DEM by Xiaoqiang Zhang, Bolin Hu, Jiaxing Zou, Chuandong Liu, Yuanfan Ji

“…The results show that when the main key stratum is located in the “original crack belt boundary,” the development of water-conducting fracture zone is significantly inhibited; when the main key stratum is located in the “original caving zone,” the water-conducting fracture zone is fully developed, and the crack belt finally develops to the top of the model. In order to verify the accuracy of the numerical simulation, similar material simulation experiments were performed under the same scheme. …”
