Abstract: In order to solve the problem of serious deformation and failure of surrounding rock and difficult maintenance of gob-side entries with strong mining-induced small coal pillars, taking the A110607 return airway of the Shanwenjiaba Coal Mine as the engineering background, the key parameters of roof-cutting and pressure relief control technology for roadway excavation with strong mining-induced small coal pillars were studied by using two-way concentrated blasting roof-cutting and pressure relief technology, combined with theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and a field industrial test. A collaborative control scheme of “roof-cutting pressure relief + anchor cable combined support” is proposed. The test results show that when the height of roof-cutting is 8 m, the angle of roof-cutting is 15°, and when the width of the coal pillar is 3 m, the effect of roof-cutting and pressure relief is the best. Through the field blasting test, it was determined that the blast hole spacing was 800 mm, 321 charge structure was used in the intact roof, and 221 or 211 charge structures were used in the broken roof and geological structure zones. During the driving and strong mining period, the roof and floor movement of the roof-cutting section of the roadway excavation was reduced by about 38% compared with the uncut section, and the deformation of the two sides of the roadway was reduced by about 44% compared with the uncut section. It shows that the collaborative control scheme of “roof-cutting pressure relief + anchor cable combined support” has a good effect on the roadway excavation driving of small coal pillars in strong mining.
