摘要
Strata movement simulation was conducted in an equivalent material modeling facility developed by the Department of Mining Engineering, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, under U. S. Bureau of Mines contracts. An innovative displacement measurement system called videogrammetric system was developed and utilized for recording, measuring and analyzing the deformation and failure process of the models. A room and pillar mining and a longwall mining prototypes were studied in the modeling. Study found that weak floor of coal seam plays an important role in pillar stability and therefore the overburden movements.
