Numerical Investigation into Evolution of Crack and Stress in Residual Coal Pillars under the Influence of Longwall Mining of the Adjacent Underlying Coal Seam

Longwall mining of the adjacent coal seam with the presence of residual coal pillars overlying the seam can result in abnormal strata pressure and severe overburden failure, which poses a significant threat to mining safety. The threat is mainly manifested in the form of intense coal or rock burst a...
