Study on Surrounding Rock-Bearing Structure and Associated Control Mechanism of Deep Soft Rock Roadway Under Dynamic Pressure

Abstract

Providing support for deep soft rock roadways under dynamic pressure is a major technical challenge. In this study, the distribution characteristics of surrounding rock-bearing structure of such roadways were systematically examined using theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Based on the control effect of different support methods on the surrounding rock-bearing structure; a reinforcement scheme for deep dynamic soft rock roadway was proposed and applied. The results indicate that: (1) by increasing the supporting strength of the internal bearing structure, cohesion, and internal friction angle of the surrounding rock, and by reducing the influence of mining, making the external bearing structure close to the roadway and reducing the thickness of the bearing structure, can improve the bearing capacity of the shallow surrounding rock in the roadway; (2) under the conditions of dynamic load and creep of the surrounding rock; the deformation of the rock increases significantly; external bearing structure is far away from the roadway, and thickness of the bearing structure increases; anchor cable support and floor pressure relief effect better control over the roof and the roadside deformation and floor heave, respectively; and the thickness of the corresponding external bearing structure is reduced by 30.84% and 41.50%, respectively; and (3) based on the application, the zonal reinforcement scheme of “fix cable to shed, floor pressure relief, deep-shallow composite grouting” is proposed and put into practice, with good results. The results of this study can provide theoretical support and reference for the determination of supporting parameters in deep roadways.

Long High-Performance Sustainable Bolt Technology for the Deep Coal Roadway Roof: A Case Study

“…Xie [13,14] discussed the mechanical characteristics and energy dissipation law of different high ratio coal rock structure from the perspective of energy release and dissipation and put forward two roof support principles, successfully applying this to the test roadway. Qin [15] used the method of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation to systematically study the distribution characteristics of the roof bearing structure of the deep soft rock roadway and finally proposed and successfully applied the roof reinforcement scheme of the deep dynamic soft rock roadway. Li [16] analyzed the strain-softening behavior, damage, and heterogeneity of rock masses of the deep roadway, established the strain-softening model of heterogeneous jointed rock mass considering the statistical damage, and successfully applied the model to the engineering practice.…”

Combined support technology for main roadway passing through goaf: A case study

“…This new design adopted an optimal anchor bolt and anchor cable arrangement with high pretension and full-length grouting. Qin et al 24 clarified the factors influencing the stability of the surrounding rock of a deep soft rock roadway under dynamic pressure and proposed a coupling reinforcement support scheme. Sun et al [25][26][27][28] studied the jet grouting technique for improving the soft coal mass to control the large deformation of roadways.…”

“…They put forward an asymmetric coupling control countermeasure of an "anchor net cable spraying + bottom angle bolt + full section grouting + reverse bottom arch". Qin [17] systematically studied the distribution characteristics of a bearing structure of surrounding rock of a dynamic pressure roadway. According to the control effect of different supporting methods on the bearing structure of surrounding rock, a reinforcement scheme of deep dynamic soft rock roadway was put forward and applied.…”
