摘要：Pre-driven recovery rooms are used extensively for the removal of mining equipment and hydraulic supports in longwall coal mining. Roof stability is a crucial factor influencing the speed and safety of the removal of operators in pre-driven recovery rooms. The characterization of roof deformation mechanisms in recovery rooms under front abutment pressures is significant for surrounding rock control and stability evaluation. In this study, three different roof subsidence evaluation models, considering different main roof failure forms, were established. It was noticed that the main roof break position had a significant effect on recovery room roof sag. The breaking of the main roof above the main recovery room and protective coal pillar was found to be the main driving force for large roof deformations. Furthermore, field monitoring data of roof sag and coal pillar stress in the 15205 and 15206 panels of Hongliulin Coal Mine were analyzed. According to evaluation models and field monitoring data, we propose determination methods for the evaluation of recovery room roof sag and main roof break position. During the study it was found that the inversion results of the main roof break position of the recovery room in 15205 and 15206 panels were 4.2 m and 9.1 m, respectively, which are basically consistent with the results calculated by periodic weighting. The research findings provide a reference for the quantitative evaluation of recovery room roof stability and the design of support parameters and yield mining.
