Abstract
A physical model experiment was conducted to study the surrounding rock failure mechanism for the roadway under deviatoric pressure from mining disturbance. During the excavation process, a self-developed deviatoric pressure reaction system was used to realize deviatoric pressure loading. Meanwhile, a digital photogrammetric measurement system and a static strain data collection system were utilized to obtain the deformation, strain and stress of the model. The deviatoric pressure stress field characteristic and deformation failure mechanism of roadway were investigated by synthetic analysis of experimental data and displacement vector diagram. The physical experimental results showed that mining disturbance had an inevitable influence on the formation of roadway deviatoric pressure, which caused the V-shaped distribution of pressure stress above the roadway. The V-shaped deviatoric pressure stress caused the roadway asymmetric deformation that was proportional to the deviatoric pressure stress above the roadway. And the asymmetric deformation further aggravated the degree of deviatoric pressure stress and formed a vicious cycle, which resulted in the instability of the roadway. In addition, a numerical simulation under deviatoric pressure was conducted to verify the accuracy of physical experimental results. This study can provide helpful references for researching the instability behavior of the roadway.
