The Retention and Control Technology for Rock Beams in the Roof of the Roadway: A Case Study

Background: Coal mining requires safe and effective roadway support to ensure production worker safety. Anchor is a common method used for controlling the roof of coal seams. This study aims analyze effectiveness different anchor schemes provide theoretical basis designing support. Methods: The authors computer simulation tool called FLAC3D simulate spacing between bolts, bolt length, cable control, at western wing in no. 15 seam 1 mine Ping’an Mine. Results: found that using combinations bolts cables with varying lengths could effectively control deformation surrounding rock, depending on layers seam. most were recommended specific conditions. Conclusion: provides design mines, which can safety improve stability. results be useful other operations facing similar challenges
