Inducing mode analysis of rock burst in fault-affected zone with a hard–thick stratum occurrence

Study of movement characteristics of a hard–thick stratum (HTS) affected by a fault in a coalmine is significant to predict the dynamic hazards (i.e., rock bursts and shock bumps) because of the particular structural and mechanical properties of the HTS and the fault. Hence, using UDEC numerical simulation, the movement characteristic of HTS and fault-slipping law with different mining directions towards the fault were studied. Then, two...
