Abstract
Deformation and destruction of roadway surrounding rock is one of the main causes of coal mine accidents. In this paper, the horseshoe-shaped roadway model was established by particle flow code firstly and then analyzed the roadway damage process through the contact force chain, deformation displacement and distribution of micro-cracks. The research result show that the parallel bond model can well simulate the damage process of the coal mine roadway. The surrounding rock can be divided into four zones from the roadway side to the deep rock mass. The micro-contact force chain is the force transmission path and the principal stress is the macroscopic reflection of the micro-contact force chain.
