Application of comprehensive support techniques to roadway tunneling in vicinity of Ordovician carbonate confined aquifers under complicated tectonic conditions

Many technical problems are being encountered in roadway tunneling processes, especially at fault bundles and fault-dense zones and in vicinity of the Ordovician carbonate confined aquifers. These complicated tectonic conditions increase the difficulty of water inrush prediction and prevention. This paper takes the roadways tunneling at Jiangzhuang Coal Mine of Shandong Province, China, as a case study. The presence of fault bundles and...
