Exploring the possibility of the application of roof cutting pressure relief and filling support collaborative roadway protection technology has important forward-looking significance for deep coal mine mining. This study addresses the large deformation problems of the mining roadway in the 03 working face of a coal mine by proposing the theory of roof cutting and filling collaborative roadway protection. CO₂ mineralized filling materials were developed, and the optimal roof cutting scheme was determined through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Field roof cutting tests were conducted to validate and optimize the parameters, and the stress and deformation characteristics of roadway surrounding rock in fractured and unfractured areas were monitored. The results show that the optimum drilling parameters are coal pillar side tilt Angle of 15°, height of 35 m, gob side tilt Angle of 13°, height of 25 m, and the theoretical pressure relief effect is the best. When the ratio of coal gangue and fly ash is 9:1, the compressive strength of CO mineralized material reaches 10.78 MPa and the residual strength is 5.40 MPa. In practical application, the collaborative protection technology significantly reduces the stress of surrounding rock in the fracturing zone by 36.08% and the displacement by 53.06%, and the stress concentration in roadway is effectively alleviated. The stability of surrounding rock is obviously improved. The research results of this paper verify the practicability and reliability of the cooperative roadway protection technology of roof cutting and pressure relief and CO mineralization filling.

Roof-cutting and roadway retaining (RCRR) technology refers to the process of mining a coal mine face without retaining protective coal pillars. By cutting the roof, the previous section of the transportation roadway is retained as the track roadway for the next section, which has the advantages of good economic value and fast construction speed. The most important factor of RCRR effectiveness lies in the stability of the retained roadway roof, especially in areas with complex geological conditions.

To investigate the movement law of overlying strata in the fully mechanized top-coal caving face of extra-thick coal seams and further achieve the effective prevention and control of rock burst. Taking the 12,240 working face of Gengcun Coal Mine as the engineering background, initially, the calculation formula for the collaborative deformation load of hard rock strata and the formula for the instability scale of hard rock strata are employed to precisely ascertain the position and instability scale of the key strata. Subsequently, a UDEC calculation model is established to comprehensively investigate the instability characteristics of the overlying hard rock strata.

This study comprehensively combines physical analog modeling, numerical simulation, on-site monitoring, and other methods to explore the overburden rock fissure development characteristics under double-roof-cutting (DRC) with retained roadway conditions. The analysis of performed tests, simulations, and on-site monitoring proves that under the above mining conditions, the stress transfer between the roof plates of the open area and the roadway on both sides of the cut top is interrupted, the overburden load being retained in the middle of the open area. The stress in the middle of the open area of the former is increased by 5% compared with that of the latter, with a higher degree of stress increase.

In order to solve the problems of serious deformation and difficult support of roadway surrounding rock in the process of gob-side entry driving, taking 230,708 working face of Huopu Mine as the engineering background, the migration characteristics of overburden rock and the stress distribution of surrounding rock before and after roof cutting in the process of gob-side entry driving were studied by means of theoretical analysis, similar simulation test and field measurement. The results show that: ① the establishment of lateral suspension mechanical model analysis found that, with the increase of coal seam dip angle, the reduction of the coal pillar bearing capacity before and after cutting the top gradually decreases, the dip angle of coal seam is 30°, Compared with the reduction of coal pillar bearing capacity before roof cutting is 2164 KN; with the increase of the overburden rock caving angle, the reduction of the coal pillar bearing capacity before and after cutting the top increases continuously, the caving angle of overburden rock is 63°, Compared with the reduction of coal pillar bearing capacity before roof cutting is 2218 KN. ② After the implementation of roof cutting and cutting off the overhanging roof structure, the stress of the surrounding rock of the coal pillar gang in the roadway has significantly decreased by 18.
