With mining depth increasing, the mining structure becomes more and more complex. It is easy to cause dynamic disaster during coal mining. To reveal the failure process of gasbearing coal at complex mining environment, the dynamics experiments were conducted through Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar of gasbearing coal (SHPBGAS) experimental system.
In the global coal mining industry, a longwall system is recognized as a vital structure for providing protection and safety conditions during the underground mining process.
The overburden rock strata fractures and collapses as the extraction of a longwall panel. Knowledge of the extents and characteristics of the fractured zone is important to evaluating many mininginduced issues including abutment pressure relief, methane production, and ground subsidence prediction. In this study, a physical model was initially created to produce the process of longwall mining ...
The longwall mining process is the most popular highoutput underground coal mining method. Parallel roadways (known as gate roads) are driven into the coal seam typically several hundred metres apart and several kilometres long. In this full extraction mining process a mining machine called a shearer travels back and forth between the roadways.
Highwall mining is an adaptation of auger mining. Instead of an auger hole, an entry into the coal seam is made by a continuous miner, remotely operated from a cabin at the surface. The cut coal is transported by conveyors behind the miner to the outside. Using a television camera, the operator can see and control the miner's progress.
Large scale mechanised mining methods we use include: longwall mining, where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice, usually by a large machine. sublevelcaving, where levels of the ore are blasted by explosives; and ; block caving, where large areas of the ore body are blasted and then extracted with the assistance of gravity.
In 2015, 40 longwall mines provided nearly 60% of the US coal production from underground mining methods. This represents a substantial yet gradual increase from just under 50% over the last 5 years. As a result of this increased production share, the percentage of groundfallrelated fatalities in longwall mines has also increased when compared to all US underground coal mines. Additionally ...

And the common site of these events are areas of the longwall mining goafs [1], [2]. In China, gassy collieries account for 70% of all stateowned underground mines [3]. In the process of mining these gassy mines, the gas is released into the goaf, and combines with fresh air leaking from the working face to the goaf, forming explosive mixture [4].
The implementation of numerical methods for surface deformation prediction in coal mining using the longwall UG method was performed by many other researchers [23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32]. Currently, Vietnamese coal mining is a very important part of the national economy and hard coal is mined using both the OP method and the UG method.
Hence this method is termed the longwall method. In simple words, longwall mining is a method of underground mining, in which coal is extracted from 60m to 200m long faces, moving continuously in one direction over large distances, leaving behind the goaf. The goaf is packed or allowed to cave. Longwall Mining is currently the main method of ...
