This paper presented a case study of the failure mechanisms and support design for deep composite soft rock roadway in the Yangcheng Coal Mine of China. Many experiments and field tests were performed to reveal the failure mechanisms of the roadway. It was found that the surrounding rock of the roadway was HJS complex soft rock that was characterized by poor rock quality, widespread development of joint fissures, and an unstable creep property. The major horizontal stress, which was almost perpendicular to the roadway, was 1.59 times larger than the vertical stress. The weak surrounding rock and high tectonic stress were the main internal causes of roadway instabilities, and the inadequate support was the external cause. Based on the failure mechanism, a new support design was proposed that consisted of bolting, cable, metal mesh, shotcrete, and grouting. A field experiment using the new design was performed in a roadway section approximately 100 m long. Detailed deformation monitoring was conducted in the experimental roadway sections and sections of the previous roadway. The monitoring results showed that deformations of the roadway with the new support design were reduced by 85–90% compared with those of the old design. This successful case provides an important reference for similar soft rock roadway projects.

Compared with I-shaped and U-shaped supports in soft rock roadway, concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) support, as a new supporting form, has stronger bearing capacity with reasonable price. So it is becoming more and more popular in roadway supporting of coal mine in China. In this article, the surrounding rock in soft rock roadway was classified into three different types: hard rock in deep coal mine, soft surrounding rock, extremely soft surrounding rock. And, according to the characteristics of deformation failure of the CFST support and the surrounding rock in the industrial tests, three different strength assessments, including assessment of axial compressive strength, assessment of lateral flexural performance, assessment of hardening rate of core concrete, were proposed through mechanical analysis and laboratory tests for the three different types of the surrounding rock, respectively. Moreover, aimed to insufficient flexural strength of the support or low hardening rate of the core concrete in some of the roadway supporting, strengthening lateral flexural performance or making early strength concrete was necessary for the above unfavorable situations. The laboratory test results showed that the ultimate bearing capacity for the CFST support with φ194*8mm of steel tube reinforced by φ38mm round steel was 31% greater than that of the unreinforced one, 177% greater than that of the U-shaped one with equivalent weight per unit length.

The roadway of S2S2 fully mechanized caving face (FMCF) in Xiaokang Coal Mine is one of the most typical deep-buried soft-rock roadways in China and had been repaired several times. In order to figure out the failure reasons of the original roadway support, the geological conditions were investigated, the surrounding rock stress was monitored, the rib displacement, roof separation, and floor heave were in situ measured, and the performance of the U-shaped steel support was simulated. The above analysis results indicated that the support failure was mainly caused by (1) the unreasonable arch roadway section, (2) the high and complex surrounding rock stress, (3) the failure control of the floor heave, and (4) the inadequate self-supporting capacity of the surrounding rock. For optimizing, the roadway section was changed to circle and a new full-section combined support system of “belt-cable-mesh-shotcrete and U-shaped steel-filling behind the support” was adopted, which could specifically control the floor heave, allow the roadway deformation in control, and improve the self-supporting ability and stress field of the surrounding rock. To determine the support parameters, the selected U-shaped steel support was verified by simulation, and various bolt-cable support schemes were simulated and compared. Finally, such an optimized support scheme was applied in the roadway of the next replacement FMCF. The in situ monitoring showed that the rib-to-rib convergence and roof-to-floor convergence were both controlled within 600 mm, which indicated that the roadway was effectively controlled. This case study has important reference value and guiding function for the optimal design of the soft-rock roadway support with similar geological conditions.

Numerical simulation and field measurement were carried out to investigate into laws of deformation and movement and the evolving characteristics of the plastic region around the roadway based on engineering conditions of deep soft rock roadway in Wangfenggang colliery, Huainan Mining area. The mechanism of controlling the surrounding rock stability of soft rock roadway in deep coal mine was demonstrated. The supporting of soft rock roadway in deep coal mine must be compatible with deformation and failure characteristics of surrounding rock, and it can keep the stability of surrounding rock. The combined supporting with high strength and prestress bolting-anchoring and integral surrounding rock grouting reinforcement can effectively control the surrounding rock deformation of soft rock roadway in deep coal mine. But every working step must be pay attention to sequence on the time and space so that it can play an integral supporting effect. Research results are put into practice accordingly and good control effect has been achieved.

Large deformation and failure of soft rock are pressing problems in the mining practice. This paper provides a case study on failure mechanisms and support approaches for a water-rich soft rock roadway in tectonic stress areas of the Wangzhuang coal mine, China. Mechanic properties of rock mass related to the roadway are calibrated via a geological strength index method (GSI), based on which a corresponding numerical simulation model is established in the Universal Discrete Element Code (UDEC) software. The failure mechanism of the roadway under water-saturating and weathering conditions is revealed by field tests and numerical simulation. It is found that the stress evolution and crack development are affected by weathering and horizontal tectonic stresses. The roadway roof and floor suffer from high stress concentration and continuous cracking, and are consequently seen with rock failure, strength weakening, and pressure relief. Unfortunately, the current support system fails to restrain rock weathering and strength weakening, and the roadway is found with serious floor heave, roof subsidence, and large asymmetric deformation. Accordingly, a new combined support system of “bolt–cable–mesh–shotcrete + grouting” is proposed. Moreover, numerical simulation and field testing are conducted to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach, the results of which demonstrate the capacity of the proposed new support method to perfectly control the surrounding rock. Findings of this research can provide valuable references for support engineering in the soft rock roadway under analogous geological conditions.

This paper， based on the distortion and failure character of soft rock Roadway in Bide coal mine, analyzed deformation and failure mechanisms of soft rock roadway that all are effected by factors of ground stress, lithology, mining influence, unreasonable support parameters and water. The new supporting scheme and parameters optimization of roadway were presented by means of ground stress measurement, mechanics parameters determination of roof and floor rock, monitoring of anchor-hold and result of surrounding rock classification. Then, through numerical simulation, this paper analyzed how the new supporting scheme could control the deformation of surrounding rock effectively, reduce tress in periphery area of surrounding rock, and decrease the stress concentration region of roadway, and prevent the base angle rock mass from macro shear slipping. The field examination results showed that the new supporting scheme was feasible, which can ensure the stability of roadway, with no consequences like roof falls, rib spalling and floor heave.The research results can be used as reference to design supporting structure in high ground stress soft rock roadway .
