Article Abstract
Corrosion-related failures have emerged as a critical driver of premature support bolt failures in underground mines, emphasizing the urgency of understanding the phenomenon with respect to enhancing safety in underground environments. This study investigated key factors influencing bolt degradation through extensive experimental evaluation of cable bolts in simulated underground bolt environments. Multi-stranded cable specimens were exposed to saturated clay, coal, mine water, and grout/cement environments. Water samples were collected weekly from critical packing sections and analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. The mineralogy and atmospheric conditions were identified as principal corrosion factors, and clay-rich and coal matrices accelerated corrosion, linked to high ion mobility and oxygen diffusion. Secondary factors correlated context-dependently: pH was negatively associated with corrosion in mineral-packed environments, while conductivity was correlated with non-mineral matrices. Notably, multi-stranded cables exhibited higher localized galvanic corrosion in inter-strand zones, highlighting design vulnerabilities. This work provides pioneering evidence that geological conditions are primary drivers for corrosion-related failures, offering actionable guidance for corrosion mitigation strategies in mining infrastructure.

Hydrogen energy is pivotal for driving sustainable development and achieving deep decarbonization; yet, its storage remains a significant challenge. Notably, depleted methane reservoirs can serve as a promising large-scale solution for underground hydrogen storage (UHS). Based on adsorption experiments, Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods, the adsorption behavior of H and CH in anthracite and the applicability of five models were discussed.

To minimize the occupational radiation hazards for workers in uranium or associated radioactive underground mines, it is necessary to control the radon exposure dose in each branch of the mine ventilation network. Firstly, a mathematical model of determining potential alpha energy concentration (PAEC) of radon daughters in a single branch was proposed on the basis of the previous radon concentration calculation model in the ventilation network considering ventilation pressure drop. Then, two estimation models of radon exposure dose based on the equilibrium radon concentration and PAEC of radon daughters are introduced.

Taking a mine in Guizhou Province as the research background, a combination of similar simulation experiments and numerical simulation was used to analyse the spatial distribution of overburden collapse and the development of fissures during the mining process. The results indicate that: (1) During the mining of the upper coal seam, the overlying rock is not affected by faults, the 'three zones' are significantly developed, the collapse morphology exhibits a typical 'trapezoidal' structure, and the fractures undergo stages of formation, expansion, and closure; (2) The lower coal seam is affected by reverse faults, resulting in asymmetrical overburden collapse patterns and discontinuous fissure development. When mining across faults, periodic pressure is intense, and the stride length is significantly reduced, with severe rock fragmentation near the faults.

Coal mining, as a typical human-induced engineering disturbance, alters the original stress field of overlying strata, triggering rock collapse and forming mining-induced pores and stratum pores. This not only exacerbates the risk of mine water hazards and gas outbursts but also threatens the safety of ground-based buildings and structures. However, the development and utilisation of underground space in abandoned mine areas as a potential resource provides an innovative approach to their comprehensive management.

Bentonite materials are extensively used in cutoff walls at landfill sites. This study calculates the stress and permeability characteristics of bentonite materials using the piezocone penetration test (CPTU) and ABAQUS simulations. The lateral effective stress of bentonite materials is evaluated using arching models, lateral squeezing models, and a modified lateral squeezing model.
