Coupled hydromechanical responses around a roadway excavation in inclined coal–mudstone strata

We conduct a numerical investigation into the spatio-temporal evolution of excavation-induced disturbances around roadways in inclined coal–mudstone strata containing fracture networks. The intact rock is modeled using a Mohr–Coulomb plastic constitutive law to capture deformation and failure, while the displacement of...
