The hydraulic characteristics of faults are of great significance for groundwater transport. Many groundwater inrush disasters are caused by hydraulically conductive faults. However, the hydraulic conductive property of a fault is complex and varies in different parts, and evaluation in coal mines has always been a hard challenge for hydrogeologists.

YS, an extract from the Chinese herb Albizzia chinensis (Osbeck) Merr, has potential therapeutic applications for gastrointestinal diseases. Here we elucidated the protective effect and underlying mechanism of action of YS on gastric ulcer in rats injured by ethanol.

Using a combination of numerical simulation, field measurement comparison, and the critical hydraulic gradient criterion, we investigate the overburden failure and the risk possibility of water-sand mixture inrush during excavation.

The shortcomings of previous studies on this topic are as follows: 1) most studies focused on the BSWI mechanism, evolution, and control methods, and there is a lack of research on BSWI risk assessment methods and 2) previous risk assessment studies ignored the factors of the water yield property. First, based on the proposed BSWI engineering geological model, three first-order factors are proposed: 1) separation space between layers, 2) water production characteristics, and 3) water resistance effect.

However, coal production is frequently threatened by groundwater inrush accidents caused by hydraulically conductive faults. Despite the threat of such accidents, research on methods for evaluating fault hydraulic conductive property without hydraulic tests has seldom been conducted.
