description Extensive bedding planes have a great influence on the mechanical properties of coal. In order to study the mechanism of the effects of bedding angles on the mechanical properties and failure characteristics of coal in the Shanxi Baode coal mine, uniaxial and triaxial compression tests and numerical simulations were conducted. The strength deterioration and microstructural changes in the samples were then analyzed with discrete element method (DEM) numerical simulation. The experimental results reveal that the power function strength criterion has good applicability to the strength characteristics of this coal. It was also found that the bedding angles have a great influence on the mechanical properties of coal. The properties of peak strength at different bedding angles roughly showed a U-shaped changing trend. The maximum strength occurred at a bedding angle of 0°, whereas the minimum strength occurred at a bedding angle of 60°. The numerical simulation and test results prove that the forms of failure of different bedding coal samples are complicated and are mainly represented by tensile and shear failures.
