*e mining of coal seam has a significant influence on the stability of the roadway near it, especially under the condition of high ground stress. To study the control mechanism of the surrounding rock under the influence of high ground stress, a general idea for the partition control of the rebuilding bearing arch (RBA) was proposed in this paper. Based on the basic mechanical performance test of the bearing arch, this paper built a mechanical model of the RBA based on Protodyakonov’s pressure arch theory, analyzed the influence of the strength of the bearing arch on the surrounding rock failure, and obtained the ultimate thickness of the bearing arch failure under high ground stress. *e results show that the RBA’s damage is closely related to the overburden load and RBA’s thickness. *e tensile stress and shear stress of RBA increase linearly with the overburden load increase and increase sharply with the load-bearing arch’s thickness, showing a nonlinear relationship. To maintain the surrounding rock’s stability, it is necessary to ensure that the RBA’s thickness is within a specific range. *e results are applied to the Wantian coal mine. *e theoretically determined load-bearing thickness is 10m, which can effectively control the surrounding rock deformation and significantly reduce the roadway’s repair rate.


Introduction
e problem of surrounding rock control of roadways under the influence of high ground stress has always been problematic in underground mine engineering. Especially in multi-coal mining, the roadways near the coal seams are affected by high ground stress, and the problem of nonlinear considerable deformation control is particularly prominent [1,2]. Under the influence of high ground stress, the surrounding rock's stress environment has deteriorated, and the surrounding rock is easy to show a nonlinear and uneven massive deformation phenomenon. e roadway support structure's stability is reduced, and the repair rate is significantly increased [3,4]. It is not easy to control the continuous deformation of roadway surrounding rock only by strengthening conventional support. Improving the structure and mechanical properties of the surrounding rock is the fundamental way to control roadway deformation surrounding rock [5]. Rebuilding the bearing arch through grouting can effectively improve the bearing capacity of the surrounding rock of the roadway, leave a pressure relief space for high ground stress, and decompose and alleviate the impact of mining stress. For roadways affected by high ground stress, proper grouting to save material costs while ensuring the grouting effect and improving the surrounding rock's self-carrying capacity has become an urgent problem in controlling the roadway's surrounding rock [6,7]. erefore, it has important theoretical significance and engineering practical value to study the control mechanism of RBA of the surrounding rock affected by high ground stress. Some scholars have done some sufficient research work on the surrounding rock control theory and the highpressure roadway technology in recent years. Meng et al. [8,9] studied the displacement, plastic zone, and distribution law of principal stress difference with different support schemes under the influence of mining disturbance on the bottom extraction roadway and proposed a U-shaped steel reinforced support scheme. Wang et al. [10] found that the width of excavation damaged zone around roadways under dynamic pressure was larger than that under static pressure, and they proposed that the bolt length should be larger than the width of excavation damaged zone. Tian and Gao [11] established a mechanical model of adjacent rock strength, mining stress, and supporting resistance based on an elastic-plastic theory of mechanics, and they obtained an analytical solution for stress and displacement distribution of elastic and plastic regions in surrounding rock of dynamic pressure roadway. Yan and He [12] proposed a new cable truss support system for coal roadways affected by dynamic pressure, established a theoretical formula for the pretightening force required for the truss cables, and deduced the lowest anchoring force between the roof surrounding rock and the cable bolt. Wang et al. [13] put forward a dynamic pressure roadway supporting scheme under the surrounding rock condition and stress environment and proved that the length of small aperture cable hole has a more significant impact on anchoring effect. Zhang et al. [14] analyzed the asymmetry characteristics of surrounding rock structure and stress distribution in dynamic pressure roadway and proposed an asymmetrical support scheme. Yang et al. [15] examined the technology of directional fracturing blasting for pressure relief of dynamic pressure roadway. Zuo et al. [16,17] theoretically derived the Hoek-Brown rock failure criterion based on the linear elastic fracture theory and established the analogous hyperbola movement model of overlying strata. Wu et al. [18,19] proposed an improved support scheme for the roadway in steeply inclined geological formations. Zhang et al. [20] studied the change laws of the maximum principal stress and the minimum one for the floor roadway surrounding rock when mining the upper working face, and they built the mechanical model of roadway stress based on the nonconstant pressure force state and the cracks revolution mechanisms of floor roadway surrounding rock. Xie et al. [21,22] deduced the equation of maximum shear stress in the deep beam structure based on the stress superposition criterion. Zhang et al. [23][24][25] investigated the lower coal seam entry failure mechanism's characteristics under the remnant pillar by means of numerical simulations and in situ observations. Yu et al. [5,[26][27][28][29] established the mechanical model of overlap arch bearing body in allusion to the united supporting characteristics of anchor, spray net, and cable bolt of deep wall rock, which are composed of the main compression arch (bolt supporting) and the second compression arch (intensive cable bolt supporting), and deduced neutral point theory of bolt and force transferring mechanism of cable bolt, strength equations of the bearing body of primary supporting and second supporting. Huang et al. [30] proposed the concept of strong mining and large deformation of roadway from mechanical essence and engineering application, established the quantitative evaluation method of intense mining and large deformation, and considered that the large deformation of the surrounding rock structure of the roadway includes the large deformation of the whole movement caused by the large structure instability of the overlying strata and the large deformation of the movement of the fractured rock mass in the loosening circle. Zhu et al. [31] established the roadway's numerical model by combining the results of exploration test, microproperties calibration, tension and shear test of rock bolt, and bearing characteristics of timber. Yang et al. [32,33] proposed a support technology focusing on cutting off the water, strengthening the rock's small structure, and transferring its immense structure.
However, due to the complexity and difference of the geological environment and production conditions in deep coal seam mining, the instability and control problems of deep dynamic pressure mining roadways have not been completely solved. e deformation and failure mechanism of the surrounding rock under the influence of high ground stress needs to be further studied. [34,35]. Based on Protodyakonov's pressure arch theory and field investigation and analysis, this paper establishes a mechanical model for reconstructing the bearing arch of the roadway's surrounding rock under high ground stress conditions. e ultimate thickness of failure provides a scientific basis for controlling surrounding rock in this type of roadway.

e Condition of the Roadway Studied.
is paper is based on the engineering background of the crossheading 1433 restoration project of Wantian coal mine, Panzhou city, Guizhou Province, China. Its depth is about 820 m. e surrounding rock of crossheading 1433 is dominated by mudstone and siltstone, and overlying 10#, 12#, 15#, 17#, and 18# coal seam. e crossheading is affected by high ground stress, causing large deformation and severe damage. After many repairs, the effect gets worse with the repair. e damage of the crossheading supporting structure is shown in Figure 1.
e roadway damage characteristics affected by high ground stress are considerable damage depth, high damage degree, and lacking integrity of surrounding rock. In recent years, the original support adopts U29 U-steel support, the row spacing is 700 mm, and the cable bolt and iron channel are used as reinforcement support. However, due to high ground stress, U-steel's damage in the roadway has become more and more serious. e maximum deformation of the sidewalls reached 2.5 m. e severe floor heave section reached 2.7 m in 3 quarters, and the local roof subsidence reached 1.0 m, which seriously affected the normal production of the mine. It could not meet the regular transportation and ventilation requirements of the roadway. It needs to be repaired 2-3 times every year.

Stress Monitoring of Bolts and Cable Bolts.
During the mining period of 11502 working face in the upper part of crossheading 1433, roof subsidence and floor heave occurred in the surrounding rock of roadway. During the mining period of the upper 11502 working face, the roof subsidence and floor heave occurred in crossheading 1433 surrounding rock. To monitor the change of bearing capacity of roadway supporting structure (bolts and cable bolts) affected by mining, SHH-60 hydraulic dynamometer was used to monitor three bolts and two cable bolts at the sidewalls, arch, and top. e monitoring time was 42 days. e stress variation curve of bolts and cable bolts is shown in Figure 2. It can be seen that, during the mining process of the working face, the load-bearing capacity of the sidewalls and arch bolts does not change much. During the monitoring period of 20-30 days, under the influence of heavy mining, the anchor cable bolt's bearing capacity increases, and the maximum bearing capacity of the bolt is 66 kN. After the end of mining, the cable bolt's stress gradually decreases and tends to be stable at 40-48 kN. Compared with the side bolt and arch bolt, the roof bolt bearing capacity is more extensive, with a maximum of 82 kN. After being affected by heavy mining, the ultimate stability value is 72-75 kN. e anchorage depth of the cable bolt is 6.0 m. At the initial stage of monitoring, the cable bolt load at the top and arch is 70 kN and 56 kN, respectively. When the distance is about 30 m from the stoppage line, the cable bolt's bearing capacity reaches 120 kN and 93 kN, respectively. During the upper working face's mining period, the cables' bearing capacity had not changed significantly.
Under the influence of high ground stress, the roof bolt's maximum bearing capacity is 82 kN, and the maximum bearing capacity of the top cable bolt is 126 kN. erefore, it is difficult to restrain the continuous deformation of roadway surrounding rock only by strengthening conventional roadway support. It is imperative to improve the structure and mechanical properties of surrounding rock.

General Idea of Partition Control of RBA
Taking the support system's integrity as the basic idea, the zoning control method from the whole to the local and from the external field to the internal field is proposed. e integrity of the roadway's surrounding rock is restored by grouting the surrounding rock in the roadway's shallow part. en, the high preload is applied to the surrounding rock to give full play to the role of active support, so that a bearing arch "shell" with strong bearing capacity is formed in the shallow part of the surrounding rock of the roadway. e broken surrounding rock outside the bearing arch is used to decompose the upper mining stress, so that the mining stress can be digested and absorbed for the first time in the pressure relief area of the deep broken surrounding rock. e destructive force of the mining stress transferred to the surrounding rock of the roadway is reduced. e reinforced bearing arch can effectively resist the destructive force transmitted by the "digestion and absorption" of mining stress, to control the stability of surrounding rock. In the actual control process, the bearing arch's mechanical properties and the radius of the arch body are the key to the success of the zoning control. In the actual coal mine engineering, the grouting cannot be unlimited, which not only causes material waste, but also reduces the buffer effect of the broken zone, which provides a continuous path for the propagation of mining stress and leads to roadway damage.  mechanical parameters are obtained, which can be used to calculate the ultimate arch thickness without breaking. e grouting material is high water quick-setting material divided into material A and material B. e ratio of material A to material B is 1 : 1. e gangue is taken from the top of crossheading 1433. e lithology is siltstone, and the ratio of water: Ash: gangue is 1.2 : 1:1. e uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, and shear strength of RBA are 8.62 MPa, 1.12 MPa, and 2.08 MPa. e experimental process is shown in Figure 3.

Mechanical Model of RBA.
According to the field measurement of roadway surrounding rock deformation, the roadway surrounding fracture zone's scope increases rapidly due to high ground stress, which makes the roadway support scope increase. RBA construction around the roadway can reduce the roadway deformation and overlying roof pressure, which plays an essential role in the maintenance of roadway deformation. It is necessary to establish a new mechanical model to determine the surrounding rock pressure of the roadway. e calculation of surrounding rock pressure under the condition of loose body accords with the basic assumption of Protodyakonov's pressure arch theory. e surrounding rock pressure is calculated by Protodyakonov's pressure arch theory, as shown in Figure 4, where Q is the in situ stress, R is the radius of bearing arch, a 1 is the maximum span of natural balance arch, b is the maximum height of natural balance arch, and φ is internal friction angle of the rock.
Loose rock mass itself can form a natural balance arch structure, and the vertical pressure transmitted above the working face is the weight of loose rock mass in the natural balance arch. e stability of the natural balance arch under the influence of high ground stress is the core of the roadway's rock stability. e overall performance of rock mass in the natural balance arch needs to be improved.
According to Protodyakonov's pressure arch theory, the maximum span of a natural balanced arch is as follows: (1) e upper part of the RBA is a natural balance arch, and its height increases with the increase of the RBA height. e maximum compressive stress q max in the natural equilibrium arch can be obtained as follows: where f is the firmness coefficient of the rock mass, and c is the density of rock mass.

Establishment of Tensile Failure Mechanical Model of
RBA. e stress model of the roadway is simplified as a plane half-cylinder stress model. e semicircular arch is subjected to uniform load q, and both ends of the semicircular arch are constrained by simply supported beams, as shown in Figure 5, where R is the radius of the arch, and h is the thickness of the arch.
Considering that the arch's failure mode is caused by the semicircular arch's tensile failure, the maximum bending moment M max of the semicircular arch beam needs to be solved. Because the beam's shape and force take the y-axis as the symmetry axis, the semicircular arch beam's bending moment also takes the y-axis as the symmetry axis. So, it is only needed to solve half of the solution of the semicircle arch.
If the bending moment of any angle α is M α , as shown in Figure 6, the calculation formula of bending moment M α can be expressed as follows: where M q is the end bending moment of overlying strata load q to α angle. By comparing the change of unit stress gradient Δσ n,t , the impact risk and impact risk area can be evaluated.
en, the expression of bending moment M α is e value range of α is [0, π/2]. As the bending moment of the semicircular arch, the beam is symmetrically distributed with α � π/2, and the variation relationship of bending moment in the arch is as shown in Figure 7.
e relationship between bending moment and the angle of the semicircular arch is shown in Figure 8. erefore, when the angle of α is π/2, M α reaches the maximum value, then e maximum tensile stress σ max of the semicircular arch beam can be calculated as follows: (1) If the radius R of the semicircular arch is 14 m, the relationship between the stress of the beam and the load of the overlying strata and the arch thickness is shown in Figure 9 (2) If the arch thickness h of the semicircular arch is 6 m, the relationship between the arch's stress and the overlying strata's load and the arch radius is shown in Figure 10. It can be seen from Figures 9 and 10 that the maximum tensile stress of semicircular arch is related to the load of overburden rock, the thickness of the arch, and the radius of semicircular arch. e maximum tensile stress increases with overburden rock load and decreases sharply with the increase of arch thickness, showing a nonlinear relationship. erefore, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the semicircular arch to ensure that the semicircular arch does not break. 4 Advances in Civil Engineering According to equation (6), the thickness of RBA must meet the following equation's requirements.
e actual semicircular arch thickness of crossheading 1433 is 10 m, which meets the requirements of tensile strength.

Shear Failure Analysis of RBA.
(1) Calculation of maximum shear stress of RBA It can be seen from the RBA stress model in Figure 4 that the shear force of the bearing arch is the largest in the middle of the semicircular arch, as shown in Figure 10. e inner radius of the circular arch is a. e outer radius is b, and the edge of the outer radius is affected by the uniformly distributed load q, as shown in Figure 11. Advances in Civil Engineering erefore, the maximum shear force F smax can be obtained as follows: When the maximum shear stress on the rectangular section is 1.5 times of the average shear stress [36], the maximum shear stress of the semicircular arch is obtained as follows: (2) Determination of shear strength of RBA e actual radius R of the semicircular arch is 12 m, the thickness h is 10 m, and the maximum load on the semicircular arch is 0.698 MPa. According to equation (9), the shear strength of the semicircular arch must meet the following requirement: e shear strength of RBA is 2.08 MPa, which meets the requirement.

Engineering Practice Verification
e RBA thickness of crossheading 1433 is determined to be 10 m by theoretical mechanical analysis. e field grouting industrial test was carried out in the coal mine, and the grouting material was high water material. e engineering practice shows that the actual compressive, tensile, and shear strength of the high water material and the roadway's   surrounding rock cement can be calculated to meet the engineering needs. e reconstructed bearing arch can effectively control the surrounding rock deformation. e stability of surrounding rock before and after engineering practice is prominent, and the deformation of roadway surrounding rock is effectively controlled. e deformation of roadway monitored on-site is shown in Figures 12 and 13. During the monitoring period, the maximum subsidence of roadway roof is 135 mm, and the maximum value of roadway floor heave is 160 mm. e deformation of both sides is small, and the cumulative displacement is 30 mm. e deformation of surrounding rock in-field measurement is significantly reduced, especially floor heave. e deformation of surrounding rock is effectively controlled, and the repair rate is significantly reduced. is proves that the RBA model established in this paper is reliable.

Conclusion
