Modeling and Simulation of Deformation Mechanism of Soft Rock Roadway considering the Mine Water

الملخص EN

The existence of coal mine water has an important influence on the instability of soft rock roadway in mining engineering.

Considering the effect of mine water, a case study on the fracture mechanism and control technology of soft rock roadway was performed in this paper.

The results showed that with the increase of moisture content, the uniaxial compressive strength of mudstone nonlinearly decreased, while the tensile strength, Young’s modulus, cohesion, and friction angle tended to a linear decrease approximately.

Meanwhile, with the increase of the weakening coefficient, the axial force of the anchorage body increased gradually, while the maximum shear stress decreased gradually.

With the increase of moisture content, the failure zone was further propagated into the deep surrounding rock, resulting in a larger stress relaxation around the roadway, especially in the roof and floor.

Finally, the supporting technology of the roadway was proposed, and then its support principle, design process, and parameters were also analyzed in detail.

The field monitoring data showed that the support technology can control the surrounding rock deformation effectively and maintain the long-term stability of the roadway.
