Abstract: Ground control of the surrounding rock of the roadway along the gob in the fully mechanized caving face in deep mine thick coal seams is challenging. A combined method of theoretical analysis,field measurement,microseismic monitoring have been used to study roadway deformation and roof movement of an entry driven along the gob of the 5302 longwall panen in Xinhe coal mine. The dynamic response relationship of the working face and the roof breaking process of the working face have been reconstructed. The deformation characteristics of the mining roadway have been analyzed. The force model of the working roadway and the corresponding relationship between the roof breaking and the roadway deformation have been established. The following conclusions are drawn. There is a phenomenon of “large and small periods” in the breaking process. The maximum breaking height of the roof is 70 m. The breaking of high-level rock formations (the middle basic roof and the high basic roof) is the main reason for the increased deformation of the roadway along the gob. During the initial breaking cycle of the roof,the roadway deformation continues to increase with the increase of the roof breaking height. During the periodic breaking process,the roadway surrounding rock deformation will not continue to increase,but periodically fluctuate up and down within a range. The breaking of the high-level rock strata causes the two sides to move closer together. The roof subsidence reaches the peak value,but the timing of the peak deformation of the two slabs and the roof deformation is different. The peak approach of the two slabs lags behind the fracture position of the high-level rock formation,and the peak roof subsidence appears to be ahead of the fracture position of the high-level rock formation. The study revealed the corresponding relationship between the deformation of the surrounding rock along the entry and the movement of the roof rock in the thick coal seam of the deep mine,which can provide a reference for its surrounding rock control design.
