In accordance with the Paris Agreement, many nations have set out a global framework to
stabilise and prevent greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate climate change. This …

Ground settlements above a tunnel as a result of tunnel construction can be predicted with
the help of input variables that have direct physical significance. Several empirical and …

Partial extraction methods such as underground strip pillar mining or room-and-pillar mining
are widely adopted techniques to control ground subsidence. However, pillar failure in …

Most prediction methods used to calculate mining-induced subsidence are empirical, which
cannot explain the mechanism of fundamental rock strata movement. In this paper, based on …

The mining-induced strata movement and surface subsidence are closely related to the dip
angle of coal seam. However, most surface subsidence prediction methods are empirical …

Land surface subsidence is an environmental hazard resulting from the extraction of
underground resources. In underground mining, when mineral materials are extracted deep …

Mining-induced fractures influence the stability of overburden and may provide pathways for
transferring heat and mass in underground environment. A novel approach was proposed to …

High geostress is a prominent condition in deep excavations and affects the cuttability of
deep hard rock. This study aims to determine the influence of confining stress on hard rock …

Residual surface deformation resulting from abandoned mined-out areas can lead to severe
damage to ground structures (eg, buildings and infrastructure in mining areas) and the local …

Fire zone sealing is an effective approach to suppress the spread of underground fire
disasters. This study aims to investigate exogenous fire evolution characteristics during the …
