Abstract:The artificial freezing method is used to cross the water-rich soft rock strata in order to exploit deep coal resources. At present, studies that consider both freezing effect and unloading rate are insufficient. To study the influences of the excavation rate using the artificial freezing method on the unloading deformation and failure of the water-rich surrounding rock, we carry out mechanical and synchronous acoustic emission (AE) tests on frozen (−10 °C) sandstone samples under different lateral unloading r… Show more
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.
