Creep Effect and Prediction Method of Dynamic Disaster of Surrounding Rock

This open access book provides a comprehensive overview of the author's in-depth insights into the theory, prediction methods, and developmental trends of creep instability and failure in coal-rock masses within mining stopes. The content primarily covers topics such as creep instability of coal-rock masses in stopes, creep instability of surrounding rock in roadways, large-scale roof creep instability, creep instability of overlying strata in goaf, rockburst, gas outburst, and principles and prediction of roof creep instability in fully mechanized mining faces. Additionally, it explores theoretical advancements in analyzing the energy principles of coal-rock masses and acoustic wave monitoring of coal-rock systems. This book serves as a valuable reference for professionals and researchers in mining engineering, mine construction, underground space engineering, and geotechnical engineering, as well as for faculty and students in related fields.
