Numerical simulation on the stability of roadway surrounding rock in the end coal drawing area by GAO Peng, ZHAO Zhining, DU Houlin, PAN Weidong, ZHA Dashun

“…The coal-rock mass in the bearing structure around the lower end roadway gradually loosens with the increase in the number of transition supports, leading to a gradual weakening of bearing capacity. The coal-rock mass in the bearing structure around the upper end roadway experiences advanced loosening due to the influence of coal drawing in the middle of the working face, with the advanced influence distance being proportional to the dip angle of the working face. …”
