The rock mass around deep roadways has obvious creep characteristics in high-stress environments. Meanwhile, the cyclic impact load induced by roof fracturing also causes dynamic damage to the surrounding rock, leading to long-term large deformation. This paper examined the rock mass deformation mechanism around deep roadways based on the theory of rock creep perturbation effect considering perturbation sensitive zone. This study proposed a long-term stability control guideline for deep roadways under dynamic load. An innovative support system was developed for deep roadways, with concrete-filled steel tubular support being recommended as the main supporting body. A case study was conducted to validate the proposed supporting system. Monitoring over one year in the case study mine showed that the overall convergence deformation of the roadway was 35 mm, indicating that the roadway's long-term large deformation induced by creep perturbation was effectively controlled by using the proposed bearing circle support system.

The formation and development of plastic zone in the surrounding rock is the essence of large deformation damage to the surrounding rock in deep, highly stressed roadway. The -850 m roadway of the Qujiang mine is laid flat longitudinally under the 805 working face and coal pillar, and under the influence of the mining movement of the upper working face and the pre-stressing pressure of the coal pillar, the periphery of the roadway is no longer a pure non-uniform stress field, but a non-uniform stress field with both vertical and horizontal dynamic pressure. Based on the Hoek-Brown strength criterion, the unified strength theory is modified and the nonlinear unified strength theory of rock is established by comprehensively considering the intermediate principal stress, rock properties and rock structure.

The soft-rock roadways in kilometer-deep coal mines are often damaged by large deformation and have to be periodically expanded and repaired, which seriously restricts the safe and efficient production of coal mines. A typical soft-rock roadway in a kilometer-deep coal mine is selected as the engineering, and the main reasons for roadway deformation are analyzed, and the ground stress and mechanical characteristics are obtained. The Flac numerical model, which can accurately reflect the deformation characteristics of surrounding rock in kilometer-deep soft-rock roadway, has been constructed, and the evolution laws of stress field and its damage mechanism have been analyzed with the vertical stress, vertical displacement and plastic zone.

In coal mining operations, it is often challenging to control the deformation of the roadway in front of the working face. The excessive stress from the surrounding rock of the working face and the difficulties in caving the goaf roof have led to a prominent factor that hinders safe and efficient production in coal mines. For this reason, a mechanical model of the stress field in the advance roadway of the working face is established, and the stress evolution law of the surrounding rock before and after cutting the roof of the roadway is analyzed.

The creep failure of rocks is related to its microstructure, external loading and time. A nonlinear yield model was introduced to describe the variation in the cohesion and friction angle with plastic strain and intergranular stress. The mechanical properties and creep characteristics of deep granite were obtained by indoor tests, and a variable radius particle clump model was constructed based on the particle flow method.

During roadway excavation, the presence of roof deterioration zones, such as layered spaces and weak interlayers, significantly affects the stability of the surrounding rock. To achieve timely and effective support for roadways, it is essential to utilize drilling measurement signals obtained during the construction of anchorage holes for the identification and prediction of these deterioration zones. This study systematically investigates the response characteristics of thrust, torque, and Y-direction vibration signals to different combinations of rock layers through theoretical analysis, laboratory experiments, ABAQUS dynamic numerical simulations, and field measurements.
