The stratum movement and surface subsidence is considered as a whole system in the research work. The key of the surface subsidence control lies first in having thorough knowledge of the dynamic changeable of the overlaying strata movement as the face advances so as to establish the corresponding structure mechanics subsidence model in flat seam and deep mining. The common characteristic of stratum movement and the development procedure of crack arch are described in this paper. The structure constituents of subsidence and their influencing factors are also analyzed. Meanwhile, the surface subsidence is determined by the compressing of coal wall and the bending of the overlying strata. Based on the ground observation by the global positioning system, the boundary angle and the motion angle are determined. Furthermore, according to the research law, one can predict and control the surface subsidence damages for the special geologic conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
