Experimental study of shear failure and crack propagation in water‐bearing coal samples

Abstract The design of dam bodies for underground reservoirs must account for how water affects shear failure and the evolution of fractures in coal pillars. In this work, we detect acoustic emissions in raw coal samples with different water content (0%, 5.35%, 17.88%, and 20.40%) and under uniaxial...
