With the continuous depletion of shallow mineral resources, the mining depth of mines gradually increases, and the deep mining environment presents the characteristics of high ground stress, high fluid pressure, and high temperature. Deep mining is accompanied by tectonic and engineering disturbance stress, and the mechanical and seepage behaviors of reservoir rocks also manifest more complex characteristics than those in the shallow part. Since the deterioration of the mining environment, the majority of deep reservoirs confronts high stress and low permeability, and associated deep mine disasters, such as roadway deformation, roofing, and rock-burst, occur more frequently. This seriously impedes the safety and efficiency of exploring and exploiting deep mineral resources.
This Research Topic aims to facilitate a better understanding of the mechanics and seepage behaviors of deep reservoir rocks as well as the mechanisms, prevention, and control of deep rock dynamic disasters. We particularly encourage submissions to address the following themes that include, but are not limited to:
• Nonlinear mechanical behaviors of deep reservoir rocks
• Laws of multi-field coupled seepage
• Mechanisms of deep rock dynamic disasters
• Prevention and control of deep rock dynamic disasters
• Theoretical, technical, and numerical references for exploration, exploitation, and utilization of deep reservoir rocks
