The evolution of fractures in deep, weakly cemented overlying strata and the characteristics of severe and mild fracture zones

Abstract Fracture development in the overlying strata of a quarry is a key factor leading to aquifer water loss. Clearly understanding the fracture characteristics of deeply weakly cemented overburden is of significant importance for water-preserved mining. In order to investigate further the laws g...
