Influence of Stress Disturbance on the Deformation of Nearby Cemented Roadways following the Excavation of Chambers

Based on the engineering background of weakly cemented roadways and adjacent chambers in Western China, a numerical simulation method was used to examine the changes in stress distribution and increment in the surrounding rock of weakly cemented roadways adjacent to chambers. The results show that the surrounding rock stress of the weakly cemented roadway adjacent to the chambers increases by approximately 30%. The vertical stress of the surrounding rock mainly expands along the vertical direction, and the expansion range is 7-12 times that of the chamber height. The horizontal stress of the surrounding rock mainly expands along the horizontal direction, and the expansion range is 3-6 times that of the chamber width. Based on the support idea of "allowable deformation" + "relief pressure" + "maintaining roadway shape", the support technology of weakly cemented roadways adjacent to chambers is established with "full section U-shaped steel shed + filling flexible materials between the steel shed and surrounding rock + patching the roof bolt + laying concrete on floor". An engineering test based on the above support technology was carried out, and it was found that the deformation of the weakly cemented roadway adjacent to the chambers was 0 in 20 days.
