Stability Analysis and Derived Control Measures for Rock Surrounding a Roadway in a Lower Coal Seam under Concentrated Stress of a Coal Pillar by Zhuoyue Sun, Yongzheng Wu, Zhiguo Lu, Youliang Feng, Xiaowei Chu, Kang Yi

“…This is an ideal position for the lower coal seam roadway. (3) The shallowness of the roadway, a small stress concentration coefficient, high level of coal cohesion, large coal internal friction angle, and appropriate lengthening of the working face of the upper coal seam are conducive to the stability of the lower coal seam roadway. (4) Through bolt (cable) support, borehole pressure relief, and pregrouting measures, the roof-to-floor and rib-to-rib convergence of the 13313 return airway is significantly reduced, and the stability of the rock surrounding the roadway is substantially improved. …”
