A causation mechanism for coal bursts during roadway development based on the major horizontal stress in coal: Very specific structural geology causing a localised loss of effective coal confinement and Newton’s second law

In 2017, one of the international authorities on coal bursts, Mark Christopher, published a paper entitled “Coal bursts that occur during development: A rock mechanics enigma”, in which several relevant technical issues were identified. This paper outlines what is considered to be a credible, first-...
