Analysis on the Influence Degree of Deformation Control Factors of Deep-Buried Roadway’s Fractured Surrounding Rock Using Orthogonal Design by Ke Li, Weijian Yu, Youlin Xu, Ze Zhou, Mengtang Xu, Wei Liang

“…The results show that the control factors’ influence order on the total deformation of the roadway is as follows: row spacing between U-shaped steel > bolt length > cable length > row spacing between bolts, the influence order on the deformation of the roadway floor is as follows: row spacing between U-shaped steel > row spacing between bolts > bolt length > cable length, same as the left sidewall and right sidewall, and the influence order on the roadway roof’s deformation is as follows: row spacing between U-shaped steel > bolt length = cable length > row spacing between bolts, which provide a reference for the support design of deep-buried roadways with fractured surrounding rock, especially the adjustment of the supporting structure.…”
