To address the large deformation of the surrounding rock of deep gob-side entry retaining under high stress, lithological characteristics of the surrounding rock and failure model of support body and their evolutionary processes are analyzed through field investigation and theoretical analysis. Failure mechanisms of surrounding rock and the technology to control it are studied systematically. The results show that the causes of the large deformation of the surrounding rock are weak thick mudstones with softening property and water absorption behavior, as well as its fragmentation, dilatancy, and long-term creep during strong disturbance and highly centralized stress states. The cross-section shape of the roadway after deformation and failure of the surrounding rock is obviously asymmetric in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Since the original system supporting the surrounding rock is unable to completely bear the load, each part of the supporting system is destroyed one after the other. The failure sequences of the surrounding rock are as follows: (1) roadway roof fracture in the filling area, (2) filling body fracture under eccentric load, (3) rapid subsidence of the roadway roof, and (4) external crack drum and rib spalling at the solid coal side. Due to this failure sequence, the entire surrounding rock becomes unstable. A partitioned coupling support and a quaternity control technology to support the surrounding rock are proposed, in which the roof of the filling area plays a key role. The technology can improve the overall stability of gob-side entry retaining, prevent support structure instability caused by local failure of the surrounding rock, and ensure the safety and smoothness of roadways.

The coal side deformation and sliding can not be effectively controlled by use of the traditional bolt or cable support in the high stress crushed surrounding rock and large section roadway. For solving this problem, the new prestressed truss support technology is put forward, and its supporting principles of roof and two walls are stated. The mechanical model of cable-channel steel truss is established, and then the tensile strength of the cable and the maximum deflection of the channel steel are derived. By way of field investigation, mechanics theory analysis and actual production condition, the scheme is defined and applied in the replacement roadway. Measurement results of surrounding rock behavior show that the coal side displacement is no more than 254mm and the roof convergence is less than 172mm. Apparent economic and technical profits have been achieved.

High-efficiency maintenance and control of the deep coal roadway surrounding rock stability is a reliable guarantee for sustainable development of a coal mine. However, it is difficult to control the stability of a roadway that locates near a roadway with large deformation. With return air roadway 21201 (RAR 21201) in Hulusu coal mine as the research background, in situ investigation, theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and engineering practice were carried out to study pressure relief effect on the surrounding rock after the severe deformation of the roadway. Besides, the feasibility of excavating a new roadway near this damaged one by means of pressure relief effect is also discussed. Results showed that after the strong mining roadway suffered huge loose deformation, the space inside shrank so violently that surrounding rock released high stress to a large extent, which formed certain pressure relief effect on the rock. Through excavating a new roadway near this deformed one, the new roadway could obtain a relative low stress environment with the help of the pressure relief effect, which is beneficial for maintenance and control of itself. Equal row spacing double-bearing ring support technology is proposed and carried out. Engineering practice indicates that the new excavated roadway escaped from possible separation fracture in the roof anchoring range, and the surrounding rock deformation of the new roadway is well controlled, which verifies the pressure relief effect mentioned. This paper provides a reference for scientific mining under the condition of deep buried and high stress mining in western China.

Taking a deep-mine horizontal roadway in inclined strata as our research object, the true triaxial simulation technique was used to establish a model of the inclined strata and carry out high-stress triaxial loading experiments. The experimental results show that the deformation of surrounding rock in the roadway presents heterogeneous deformation characteristics in time and space: the deformation of the surrounding rock at different positions of the roadway occurs at different times. In the process of deformation of the surrounding rock, deformation and failure occur at the floor of the roadway first, followed by the lower shoulder-angle of the roadway, and finally the rest of the roadway. The deformation amount in the various areas is different. The floor heave deformation of the roadway floor is the greatest and shows obvious left-right asymmetry. The deformation of the higher side is greater than that of the lower side. The model disassembly shows that the development of cracks in the surrounding rock is characterized by more cracks on the higher side and fewer cracks on the lower side but shows larger cracks across the width. The experimental results of high-stress deformation of the surrounding rock are helpful in the design of supports, the reinforcement scheme, and the parameter optimization of roadways in high-stress-inclined rock, and to improve the stability control of deep high-stress roadways.

With the increase in mining depth, the problem of the floor heave of a roadway is becoming increasingly prominent. Solving this problem for a deep high-stress roadway is the key to ensure safe supply and utilization of coal resources in China. This study investigates the floor heave of a horizontal transportation rock roadway at the depth of 960 m at the Xieyi Mine. A four-way loading simulation test frame similar to the Xieyi Mine was used to reproduce the high-stress environment of a deep roadway by loading different pressures on the roof, floor, and two sides of the roadway. The experimental results show that after the tunnel had been excavated, the surrounding rock failure could be divided into three stages: the initial deformation stage, fissure development stage, and mild deformation stage. The destruction time periods of these stages were 0–0.5 h, 0.5–2 h, and 2–6 h, and the destruction ranges were 0.4 m, 1 m, and 1.5 m, respectively. The amount of roof subsidence, the displacement of the two sides, and the floor heave influence each other, and the range of the bearing ring (5.6 m) of the floor is larger than that of the roof (3.4 m) after the surrounding rock has been damaged. The findings suggest that the floor should be supported first, before the two sides and the roof; then, the support of the key parts (roof and floor corners) should be strengthened. The roof, floor, and two sides are considered for controlling the deformation of the surrounding rock in a coupled trinity support mode. Because of the unfavorable conditions in the area, overexcavation backfill technology was used. The new support was successfully applied during the subsequent construction of the rock tunnel. Based on the long-term monitoring results of the surrounding rock deformation, the floor heave control yielded satisfactory results and maintained the long-term stability of the roadway. Therefore, this study can serve as a reference for preventing floor heave in similar high-stress roadways in the future.

Cracks are critical for the deformation and failure of rock masses, but the effects of real cracks are rarely considered when evaluating the stability and safety of practical engineering. This paper presents a study on the application of fractures in the Sanshandao Gold Mine. Field investigation and statistical analysis methods were adopted to obtain the distribution laws of the cracks. Laboratory tests, MATLAB programming, and simulation using the software, GDEM (Gdem Technology, Beijing, China, Co., Ltd.), were employed to study the mechanical behaviors of rock masses with real fractures after excavation. The main results are as follows: (1) Three sets of highly discrete cracks were developed in the study area. Their inclination and dip can be approximately considered to follow a Gaussian distribution or uniform distribution. They had close ties to the three faults developed in the mining area. (2) Compared with the model that did not consider cracks and the model processed by the equivalence idea, the surrounding rock deformation caused by excavation of the model that considered real cracks was larger than that of the former and smaller than that of the latter. However, its influence range was larger than that of the other two models. The results show that it is reasonable to use three sets of discrete cracks to characterize the fracture distribution of the surrounding rock. In the evaluation of roadway stability, it is not advisable to use the equivalence method to deal with all the cracks. Considering a part of the cracks that are compatible with the size of the calculation model, a relatively accurate evaluation can be obtained in terms of the deformation, failure, and permeability changes of the surrounding rock.

In order to adapt to the high stress and avoid the large deformation in roadways, the pre-stressed yielding bolt has been developed. Prior to the installation of the pre-stressed yielding bolt, boreholes need to be drilled. However, not all boreholes are perpendicular to the surface of the roadway, and the non-perpendicular holes make the pre-stressed yielding bolt exposed to eccentric loads. In order to reveal the influence of the eccentric load on the performance of the pre-stressed yielding bolt, some numerical simulations were carried out in this study. The influence of the eccentric load on the displacement–load relations, utilization rate of the yielding pipe, the plastic strains of the bolt components as well as the evolution of the absorptive capacity of the yielding pipe were analysed. The results are as follows: (i) eccentric loads affected the utilization rate of the yielding pipe, plastic strains of bolt components and the absorptive capacity was quite great when displacement was less than 2 mm, while these impacts could be neglected when displacement is greater than 2 mm; (ii) as the eccentric load increased, the yielding point and its corresponding displacement increased linearly while the yielding magnitude decreased linearly; and (iii) the eccentric load could be adjusted to control the yielding point and magnitude in order to meet the roadway support's requirement for the yielding bolt.

Deep horizontal high stress and high permeability geological factors appear when coal mines are converted to deep horizontal mining. When the roadway is damaged by the mining face, and the supporting components are mismatched, the deep roadways necessitate extensive repair work, which has a negative impact on the coal mining economy and sustainability. This paper carried out a series of field tests on the roadways deformation, crack distribution, and loose rock zone of the deep roadways. Furthermore, a numerical calculation model was established using the discrete element method (DEM) and calibrated with laboratory tests and RQD methods. Both the stress and crack distribution in the surrounding rock of the deep roadway were simulated. The field test and the corrected numerical model showed consistency. A FISH function was used to document the propagation of shear and tensile cracks around the roadway in three periods, and a damage parameter was adopted to evaluate the failure mechanism of the deep roadways under the dynamic stress disturbance. The matching of specifications of anchor cables, rock bolts, and anchoring agent is the primary point in the control of deep roadways, and revealing the stress evolution, crack propagation, and damage distribution caused by mining effects is another key point in deep roadway controlling. The field test and DEM in this paper provide a reference for the design of surrounding rock control of deep roadways and the sustainable development of coal mines.

Abstract In order to study the deformation and failure mechanism of the fault passage, this paper makes a series of research on the fault passage through theoretical analysis, field investigation and numerical simulation. Firstly, the mechanical characteristics of the fault structure and the deformation and failure characteristics of the surrounding rock passing through the fault are summarized. Then, the numerical analysis is carried out before and after the tunnel passing through the fault. The results show that the original support scheme has large deformation and failure in the surrounding rock of the fault section, and the deterioration and expansion of the plastic zone leads to the failure of the support. Finally, the comprehensive support scheme and principle of "bolt + anchor cable + metal mesh + grouting" is put forward, and the support for the broken tunnel passing through the fault is strengthened. The calculation results show that the support scheme can keep the tunnel passing through the fault in a stable deformation range, which is conducive to the long-term stability of the surrounding rock.

Roadway Stability

Large deformation of roadway and coal bump failures have always been the focus in deep underground engineering. By considering the Lu’an mining district in China, the failure mode and stability improvement process of high-stress roadways were analysed with the field tests and numerical simulations. The field test results showed that a great amount of deformation and serious damage occurred in surrounding rocks during panel retreat due to the suspended roof. A novel approach employing roof fracturing and collapsed rock filling effect was adopted to maintain the roadway stability. A numerical model was established with the Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC) to research the fracturing characteristics between the roadway and gob roofs and the stress change in the surrounding rock. The modelling results demonstrated that, without fracturing roof, the peak vertical stress of the coal pillar was 18.3 MPa and the peak vertical stress of the virgin coal rib was 15.6 MPa. The roadway was in a state of high stress. With fracturing roof, the peak vertical stress of coal pillar was 9.3 MPa and the peak vertical stress of virgin coal rib was 13.4 MPa. The fractured rock mass in the gob expanded in volume and provided supporting resistance to the overlying strata, which relieved stress concentrations in the coal pillar. Field measurement results indicated that the roadway large deformation was successfully resolved during excavation and panel retreat after implementing the novel approach, providing useful references for the application of this novel approach in similar coal mines.
