Research on Catastrophic Pillar Instability in Room and Pillar Gypsum …
Gypsum is mostly mined through room and pillar mining, where the pillar is usually strip-shaped. The key to this mining method lies in the stability of the pillar. To some degree, the pillar stability decides the safety and sustainability of this mining method. As the mining activities advance, the stress inside the pillar begins changing.

Experimental Investigation of the Mechanical Behavior and …
The mining of gypsum mines is mostly carried out using the open field method, so a large number of goaves are inevitably formed after mining is completed. With the gradual increase in the exposed area and the influence of surrounding loads, accidents such as pillar deformation and roof collapse are prone to occur in the goaf [ 1, 2, 3 ].
