Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to introduce some research on rock mechanics, support, and excavation, as well as the challenges and prospects of underground space in the current situation.
This issue will focus on the construction of underground spaces, crack treatment of rock structures, and the handling of disasters and accidents caused by underground mining, involving the introduction of new methods, research and development of disaster management materials, and the development of new technologies. It can involve new research in underground industries such as coal mines, metal mines, non-metallic mines, and tunnels.
