The support of soft-rock roadway is a difficult problem in the field of roadway support.With the growth of mining depth and the application of top coal caving technology,the influence of mining-induced pressure and surrounding rock pressure impact on the mining roadway in soft rock increases,the deformation of mining roadway is big and is very difficult to control.Based on the analysis on surrounding rock pressure and loose surrounding rock zone of mining roadway,a method to determine the thickness of loose surrounding rock zone and an anchor supporting technology to control mining roadway in soft rock are proposed.
