Investigations on the Directional Propagation of Hydraulic Fracture in Hard Roof of Mine: Utilizing a Set of Fractures and the Stress Disturbance of Hydraulic Fracture

AbstractDirectional fracturing is fundamental to weakening the hard roof in the mine. However, due to the significant stress disturbance in the mine, principal stresses present complicated and unmeasurable. Consequently, the designed hydraulic fracture (HF) extension path is always o...
