Abstract

Creep is a fundamental property that naturally exists in some types of rock, which is significant for the long-term stability of roadways during the mining process. In this paper, the long-term strength of coal and rock were determined via laboratory experiments, and a Cvisc elasto-viscoplastic model was adopted and introduced in FLAC3D, based on the 31101 transport roadway in the Hongqinghe Coal Mine, to investigate the influence of creep on the stability of a deep high-stress roadway. The test results show that the long-term strength of 3-1 coal and sandy mudstone was 18.65 MPa and 39.95 MPa, respectively. The plastic zone, the deformation, and the damage of the roadway’s surrounding rock displayed an obvious increase after being excavated for 720 d as the creep model was chosen. The plastic zone failure was modeled with shear-p (1090.7 m 3 ), shear-n (381.7 m 3 ), tension-n (98.4 m 3 ), and tension-p (30.8 m 3 ). The damage value had an obvious increment of 21.2% (0.053), and the deformation increased in the order of the two sidewalls (1978 mm), the roof (907 mm), and the floor (101 mm). The creep of the roadway can be divided into three stages: the accelerating stage, the decaying stage, and the stable stage. The creep speed of each stage is greatly affected by the presence or absence of anchor spray support: the creep speed of the bare roadway roof, sidewalls, and floor stability was 1.01, 1.02, and 0.12 mm/d, respectively. After anchor spray support, the creep velocity, correspondingly, decreased to 0.69, 0.37, and 0.12 mm/d, and the amount of surrounding rock damage decreased from 0.302 to 0.243. This indicates that the anchor spray support can significantly reduce the creep effect of the roadway. The Cvisc creep model was verified to be reliable and can provide guidance for deep high-stress coal roadway support.
