Research on the Reasonable Coal Pillar Width and Surrounding Rock Supporting Optimization of Gob-Side Entry under Inclined Seam Condition by Li-li Jiang, Zeng-qiang Yang, Gang-wei Li

“…The results show that the influence range of inside stress field is about 12.2∼12.8 m based on theoretical calculation result; under the influence of 10 m coal column, the overall deformation of the roadway is relatively small and within the reasonable range of engineering construction, so the width of the coal pillar along the return air roadway is set to 10 m which is more reasonable; the cross-section characteristics of special-shaped roadway lead to asymmetric stress distribution and fragmentation of surrounding rock, and then the asymmetric surrounding rock control technology under the coupling effect of roof prestressed anchor + high-strength single anchor cable + truss anchor cable support is proposed. …”
