Combined support mechanism of rock bolt and anchor cable for adjacent roadways in the external staggered split-level panel layout
Abstract Utilizing the spatial structure characteristics of the external staggered split-level panel layout, the combined support technology of adjacent roadways is proposed, and combined support mechanism of rock bolt and anchor cable were analyzed. The influence of the side rock bolt and anchor cable parameters respectively on the mechanical properties of the anchorage body and support stress distribution of lateral coal body was revealed through FLAC3D software. The optimal support parameters of side rock bolt and anchor cable were determined subsequently. And the support effect of the gob-side entry under mining influence was verified. Result shows that the support effect of side rock bolt and anchor cable can improve the mechanical properties and the stress state of the anchorage body, which has a good protective effect on the coal body of the air-intake entry roof and side wall. It is beneficial to the stability of the side wall and the realization of the suspension effect for the roof rock bolt and anchor cable, which makes the surrounding rock maintenance of the gob-side entry of the thick coal seam more favorable.
