The characteristic of the distribution and evolution of the fractured zone has important guiding significance for gas drainage design. In this paper, the 2ZW11 face of the Dahuangshan coal mine was chosen as an engineering example, and the evolution of the fractured zone was analysed using physical and numerical simulations. The results showed that...

The current backfilling coal mining methods still have many limitations, such as lack of filling time and filling space and poor coordination between filling time and filling space. On the basis, this paper proposed the Wongawilli roadway backfilling coal mining method (WRBCM). As a pattern of ‘backfilling while mining’, WRBCM gives fully play to t...

The activities of coal mining often lead to the formation of underlying runoff areas and have great impacts on both the basin hydrological cycle and water resource management. In order to investigate the changes in the hydrological processes of the coal goaf catchment, this paper analyzes and explores the coal mining influences on the hydrological...
