description In the practical processes of coal mines and tunnel, rectangular roadways are widely used in the underground environment. However, the stress distribution law of the rock mass around the rectangular roadways is relatively complicated that is influenced by different parameters, such as the in situ stress, geological structure, and properties of the surrounding rock mass. It is extremely significant to conduct systematic and in-depth research regarding the stress distribution and deformation failure mechanism of the rock mass around the rectangular roadways. Based on theoretical analysis, the stress distribution law of the surrounding rock of rectangular roadway under different rock mass strength grades is studied directly through rectangular roadway in this paper. This further reveals the distribution law of secondary stress field after excavation of rectangular roadway. A coal mine intends to excavate a roadway in rock mass, and then, the rectangular roadway is simulated by FLAC3D software. Then, the strain distribution and failure types of roadway surrounding rock under different rock mass properties are obtained. The results show that the failure of rectangular roadway is mainly shear failure and tensile failure. The roof and floor of roadway are mainly tensile failure, and the side of roadway is mainly shear failure. Moreover, the stress shifting and distribution of the rock mass around rectangular roadways is a complicated dynamic variation process. The damage degree of the floor and roof of the rectangular roadway is greater than that of the two sides of the roadway. Its variation is mainly related to the strength of surrounding rock mass.
