Fracture analysis of multi-hard roofs based on microseismic monitoring and control techniques for induced rock burst: a case study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Arabian Journal of Geosciences"
DOI: 10.1007/s12517-019-4972-1
Abstract: The fracture and behavior of multi-hard and thick roofs differ from those of other types of overlying strata. Therefore, abnormal rock pressure problems, such as gateway instability, rock burst, and hydraulic cylinder damage, will be… read more here.
