Study on the Law of Surface Cracks While Coal Mining in the Thin Bedrock and Thick Unconsolidated Layer of Yu-Shen-Fu Mining Area

The law of surface cracks caused by coal mining in ther thin bedrock and thick unconsolidated layer was studied in Yu-Shen-Fu mining area. The crack development in the overlying strata of the coal mining face was detected by drilling survey technology, the whole process of the ground surface crack dynamic evolution was carried out by similar material simulation, and the law of surface cracks evolution was verified by on-site tracking measurement. The study reached the regulation of the overlying strata failure and dynamic evolution of surface cracks caused by coal mining under thin bedrock and thick unconsolidated layer in Yu-Shen-Fu mining area, which can provide theoretical support for the ecological restoration of western mining area.
