Water and mud inrush is one of the most important geohazards in underground engineering.
The paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the current understanding of this type of …

Underground coal mining has a strong disturbance on surrounding rock strata, causing
inevitable water inflow into mined spaces, which seriously affects safety production. Mine …

Fault rock is a typical hazardous material of water–silt inrush during the excavation in
underground mines. To investigate hydraulic characteristics of fault rock during the water …

Underground coal mining suffers from groundwater intrusion from the aquifers overlying coal
seams. Therefore, developing methods for the accurate prediction of roof water inflow is …

A critical overview of past research on the interaction integral (I-integral) method is
presented. The I-integral is the two-state mutual energy release rate decided by a …

To investigate the mechanism of water–sediment inrush during coal mining, the
characteristics of water–sediment flow in rock fractures were quantitatively analyzed by …

Failure characteristics of the coal seam floor above-confined aquifer are the key to
understanding water inrush mechanism during mining. Due to the heterogeneity of coal …

In coal seam mining, fault structures are easy to activate, which poses a serious threat to the
safety of the mine during use. Therefore, the identification of physical information before fault …

Based on the systematic collection and collation of relevant data at home and abroad, and
using the CiteSpace bibliometric tool, the research hotspots and evolutionary paths in the …

Due to the high pressure of confined water in deep mines, the incidence of water inrush
disasters in China caused by geological structures, especially faults, are becoming more …
