Mechanical behavior of coal seam sandwiched by rigid strata
Abstract
In Japanese coal mines, with the increase in working depth, we have met with the unusual phenomena. Recently, in Miike under-sea coal mine, coal burst has been a important problem together with the supporting of deep level entry. Fortunately, the serious accident has been avoided except a few cases, however a clear explanation of its mechanism has not been made and many technical problems still remain.
