Abstract

In order to solve the problems of stress concentration and large deformation of surrounding rock of secondary gob-side entry retaining in thin coal seam caused by hard overhanging roof, the method of cutting off overhanging roof on both sides of roadway by manual pre-cutting seam is adopted. It can transfer high stress to goaf on both sides of roadway and reduce roadway deformation. The mechanism of roadway formation, the conditions of double side overhanging roof subsidence and the stress reduction of roadway side support of secondary gob-side entry retaining after double side roof cutting are given. This paper studies the pressure relief law of secondary gob side entry retaining after double side roof cutting in thin coal seam. After double side roof cutting, the stress of roadway side support is reduced by 76%, the maximum vertical displacement of roof is reduced by 84%, and high stress is transferred to goaf. The influence of different double side roof cutting thickness and angle on the pressure relief effect is analyzed. On the premise that the collapsed gangue can fill the goaf, the smaller the thickness of double side roof cutting is, the better the pressure relief effect is, and the greater the double side roof cutting angle is, the better the pressure relief effect is. It has been successfully applied in the left five roadway of No. 69 coal seam in Xinqiang coal mine, and the deformation of roof and floor is reduced by 47% and the deformation of two sides is reduced by 56% after double side roof cutting. It has important reference value for the future secondary gob-side entry retaining.
