The Relation of Gas Seepage and Coal Body Damage Under the True Three Dimension Stress

AbstractThe law of gas flow is the basis of coal and gas outburst prevention and gas drainage rate increase. Thus the relation of gas seepage and coal body damage under the true three dimension stress is studied. The research results show that when volume stress is not change with the change of pore pressure the permeability of coal body change with the parabolic law. The relation of damage and permeability of coal body is established. It can be known that during load of coal body the greater the damage occur, the more the permeability of coal body after unload decrease than primary permeability of coal body
