Overlying strata movement of recovering standing pillars with solid backfilling by physical simulation

To analyze the overlying strata movement law of recovering room mining standing pillars with solid backfilling. Physical simulation experiments with sponge and wood as the backfilling simulation material were tested. The results show that: (i) The covering-rock mechanics of the overly strata comes from “two-arch structures + hinged girder + bend beam” to “backfilling material + hinged girder + bent beam” by increasing the fill ratio from 0% to...
