Massive sandstone in immediate roof delays the local fall in goaf of a coal mine. Under this condition crushing of the pillars at outbye side is called
Show Hint
Delayed roof collapse transfers excessive load to adjacent pillars, leading to
\[
\boxed{\text{Overriding of pillars}.}
\]
Step 1: Recall the effect of a strong immediate roof.
A massive sandstone roof delays caving in the goaf, causing additional stress to be transferred to the outbye pillars.
Step 2: Identify the phenomenon.
The crushing of these heavily loaded outbye pillars is known as
\[
\boxed{\text{Overriding of pillars}.}
\]
Therefore,
\[
\boxed{(B)}
\]
is the correct answer.
