Abstract

One of the difficult issues in underground mining is the ground control of roadway subject to mining induced stresses. As a longwall face advances, the state of initial stresses dramatically changes. Accordingly, lateral abutment pressure forms on the pillar and frontal abutment pressure on the roof and lateral sides of the roadway. These pressures will lead to severe deformation and deterioration of the rock mass surrounding the entries. In this paper, a systemic study on this issue is proposed using the combination of numerical modeling and in-situ monitoring which was carried out at a coal mine in the Lu.An Group, China. The condition of stress redistribution caused by mining-induced stresses and the state of the surrounding rock mass of the roadway situated in front the work face are systematically investigated. Different patterns of support and reinforcement as well as their effects on the stability of the roadway are also presented.
