Abstract: For the serious deformation of high stress soft rock roadway in Qingshui Coal Mine, the characteristics of surrounding rock deformation and loose circle range were determined through roadway deep displacement monitoring and loose circle test. And this provided basis for supporting scheme optimization. Research result showed that the range of roof concentrated deformation was at the depth from 1m to 4 m. The range of buttock concentrated deformation was at the depth from 2 m to 4 m. The thick of surrounding rock loose circle was from 2.9 m to 3 m; the original roadway supporting scheme was revised. The lengthening anchor of 5 m was used to support roadway. Numerical simulation verify that this supporting scheme can effectively control rock deformation of surrounding rock.
