The numerical model adopted to examine this problem consists of a cross-section parallel to the longwall face and assumes plane-strain conditions. The initial pre-mining geometry of the model has an overburden depth (H) of 150 m, a width of the longwall panel (W) of 300 m, and a height (thickness) of extraction (T) of 3 m (Fig. 1, Fig. 2a).
