Surrounding Rock Stresses on a Working Face-End Roof under Mining Influence by Kang Wang, Xinglong Huang, Haibo Li, Feng Zhang, Jiazhen Li, Zhijie Zhu

“…The surrounding rocks are in a stable state when the maximum stress of the surrounding rocks at the top corner of the reinforced anchor cable’s back-end is 26.1 MPa. The results show that cutting of the surrounding rocks at the top corner of the end and the reinforcement of the anchor cable can avoid the spalling and roof fall when the top corner of the end is affected by mining and can ensure that the end support advances and working face moves forward.…”
