Abstract: Providing support for deep soft rock roadways under dynamic pressure is a major technical challenge. In this study, the distribution characteristics of surrounding rock-bearing structure of such roadways were systematically examined using theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Based on the control effect of different support methods on the surrounding rock-bearing structure; a reinforcement scheme for deep dynamic soft rock roadway was proposed and applied. The results indicate that: (1) by increasing the supporting strength of the internal bearing structure, cohesion, and internal friction angle of the surrounding rock, and by reducing the influence of mining, making the external bearing structure close to the roadway and reducing the thickness of the bearing structure, can improve the bearing capacity of the shallow surrounding rock in the roadway; (2) under the conditions of dynamic load and creep of the surrounding rock; the deformation of the rock increases significantly; external bearing structure is far away from the roadway, and thickness of the bearing structure increases; anchor cable support and floor pressure relief effect better control over the roof and the roadside deformation and floor heave, respectively; and the thickness of the corresponding external bearing structure is reduced by 30.84% and 41.50%, respectively; and (3) based on the application, the zonal reinforcement scheme of “fix cable to shed, floor pressure relief, deep-shallow composite grouting” is proposed and put into practice, with good results. The results of this study can provide theoretical support and reference for the determination of supporting parameters in deep roadways.
