Study on the Failure Characteristics of Coal Wall Spalling in Thick Coal Seam with Gangue by Guosheng Li, Zhenhua Li, Feng Du, Zhengzheng Cao

“…Besides, the damage depth, width, and stress environment of coal wall panel caused by the position of gangue were mainly studied, and the failure mechanics model of coal seam containing gangue was established by using the stability theory of pressure bar. The results show that, compared with coal wall spalling in coal seam without gangue, coal seam with the lower and middle gangue has a significant weakening effect on the wall spalling, and coal seam with the upper gangue has little effect on the wall spalling. …”
