Journal: DergiPark (Istanbul University)
Year: 2023

The article theorizes the impact of the quantitative moisture content in rocks with two main factors of outburst hazard – their physical and mechanical properties and the gas factor. The impact of natural humidity and reservoir properties of sandstones on the degree of their outburst hazard and the depth of outburst manifestation in coal mines of the Donetsk Basin (Ukraine) is researched. The exploration targets were outburst-prone sandstones of the Lower and Middle Carboniferous age of the coal
