Study on failure depth of coal seam floor in deep mining
Failure depth can be studied via several methods: (1) the borehole strain method, which measures the degree of deformation of rock strata by laying sensors on the coal seam floor (Duan 2014; Zhu et al. 2013 ); (2) the borehole ultrasonic imaging method, in which boreholes are drilled into the floor of the goaf after mining and ultrasonic imaging...
