Abstract
Aiming to get the strata behavior and stability rules of surrounding rock of the main return airway of Yushujing Coal Mine, convergence deformation of two sides and force of U-shaped steel yieldable support and bolt were monitored, and deformation of surrounding rock and mechanical characteristics of support structure were timely obtained to guide the information construction and optimize supporting parameters in water-rich soft rock roadway. The field monitoring results indicate the following. (1) Convergence displacement of rock surface increases with time continuity and shows surrounding rock’s intense rheological behavior. The original support scheme cannot control the large deformation and strongly rheological behavior; (2) Without backfilling, the U-shaped steel support begins to bear load after erecting for 4–7 days and increases rapidly in the first 30 days. The U-shaped steel support at the right shoulder and top of roadway bears a larger force and the left side and shoulder bears a smaller force; (3) The stress of bolt increasing over time and at the right shoulder of roadway has larger growth and value. The mechanism of rock deformation and the failure and strata behavior in water-rich soft rock roadway are revealed based on the results of the measured relaxation zone of surrounding rock, measured stresses, and the rock mechanics tests.
