Study on the Lagging Support Mechanism of Anchor Cable in Coal Roadway Based on FLAC3D Modified Model by Xiangyu Wang, Guanghui Wang, Bowen Wu, Shuaigang Liu

“…Finally, it was determined that the support should start at 10–15 m of the anchor cable lagging head of the 6208 transport tunnel. Industrial tests show that the lagging support scheme ensures that the anchor cable can withstand a certain deformation, and the support body has no broken failure, which effectively controls the large mining-induced deformation of surrounding rock.…”
