Cutting Roof Roadway Regional Stress Characteristics Numerical Analysis of Thin Coal Seam Group

The stress state characteristic of the cutting roof roadway region was simulated and analyzed by FLAC3D. The results showed that the low side of return airway and gas roadway had higher vertical stress while the horizontal stress concentration was obviously in floor and low side of the return airway, the stress of cutting roof roadway was obviously, thus the level of rock burst hazard increased. range of stress concentration are 5~10m when using cutting roof roadway, thus distance between two cutting roof roadway are no less than 20m, to avoid stress concentration regions by two adjacent cutting roof roadway superposition.
