Principle and practice of coupling support of double yielding shell of soft rock roadway under high stress

In order to ensure the safety and stability of the soft rock roadway under high stress, based on the characteristics of the surrounding rock deformation and failure, this paper presented the support technology “coupling support of double yielding shell”, then gave the design method of inner and outer shells and analyzed the principle and requirements of the support technology by taking the −850 m east belt roadway of Qujiang coal mine as the background. The field application results show that the support technology can control the soft rock roadway deformation better under high stress. The displacement between roadway sides was 851 mm, the displacement of the roof was 430 mm, and the displacement of the floor was 510 mm.
