Study on Roof-Cutting and Support of a Retreating Roadway under the Double Influence of Large Mining Heights.

When the coal mining face enters the final stage of mining, the roadway faces the superimposed influence of surrounding rock stress redistribution and roof rotary moment. As affected by the strong disturbance in the coal mining process, the roof plate of the roadway has undergone serious deformation, which seriously affects the stability of the roadway. Taking the 108 working face of the Jinjitan coal mine as the engineering background, a comprehensive study was conducted on the control of the perimeter rock in the retracement of a tunnel in a heavy coal seam with a large mining height. By analyzing the physical properties of the enclosing rock of the retreated roadway, and using theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, on-site monitoring, and other methods, the characteristics of the peripheral rock's movement relationship and mineral pressure manifestation in the final mining stage of the large-height working face have been studied. The structural mechanics model was established, and in the case where the support cannot be solved just by strengthening the support, the design scheme of "blasting roof break + constant resistance anchor cable support" was innovatively tried. FLAC3D simulation results show that the stress release of the surrounding rock is more adequate when the height of roof cutting is 20 m. The stress of the surrounding rock near the roadway is reduced by 30~40%, and the stress state is reasonable. The constant resistance and large deformation anchors can absorb the deformation energy of the rock body, maintain constant working resistance and stable deformation, and have good rock stability control, which is conducive to the stability of the roadway.
