Research on Pressure Relief Hole Parameters Based on Abutment Pressure Distribution Pattern by Jian Hao, Hua Bian, Yongkui Shi, Anfa Chen, Jiankang Liu, Peizhe Zhang, Linjun Peng, Jianquan Tang

“…Borehole pressure relief technology is an effective way to reduce the elastic energy in the surrounding rock of deep roadways, thereby reducing the risk of regional rock bursts. To avoid large deformation of the roadway caused by pressure relief holes with large diameters and insufficient pressure relief with small pore diameters, this study proposes precise pressure relief holes with nonequal diameters in order to achieve strong pressure relief with minimal disturbance based on the abutment pressure distribution pattern. …”
