Numerical Simulation Study of the Strata Movement Rule of Deep Mining with the Super-Thick and Weak Cementation Overburden: A Case Study in China

As the national energy strategy is to mine westward, the deep coal resources under the super-thick and weak cementation overburden in the western mining area will play a critical role in China’s sustainable economic growth. The super-thick and weak cementation overburden has weaker lithology, thicke...
