Description
Summary:In coal mine roadway support, the arrangement of roadways in areas with high-stress concentrations is a challenging issue. It is crucial to solve this problem in order to ensure the safety and productivity of the mine. In this study, we selected a typical roadway in Zhong Xing Coal Mine, Fen Xi, Shanxi Province, as our research focus. We analyzed the deformation and failure characteristics of the surrounding rock under field mining pressure during roadway excavation through theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and on-site measurements. Using the Flac3D numerical simulation technique, we studied the stress distribution characteristics of the roadway in the stress concentration area. To address the significant deformation of the roadway, we proposed a high-pretensioned top beam high-strength dual-anchor truss support system (HSCTS) and carefully studied its control mechanism and structural characteristics. After simulating and comparing its support effectiveness with the original support scheme and conducting on-site industrial tests, we determined the HSCTS support system as the alternative support system for roadway 1409. The test results showed that the convergence of the rib plates and the roof was no more than 79 mm and 191 mm, respectively. The significant influence of the roadway on the control of the surrounding rock also indicated effective control of the surrounding rock’s deformation along the 1409 goaf. The support control technology system can provide specific reference values for roadways under similar geological production conditions.
