Abstract: The mechanical properties of surrounding rock in Lane 5-1042 are tested. Based on the failure characteristics of the tunnel, the unstable area of the surrounding rock under stress was determined, and the preliminary parameters of anchor rod and cable support were obtained through calculation. Based on the simulation of goaf balance and tunnel excavation, the maximum vertical and horizontal stresses after the balance and tunnel excavation were determined. Subsequently, the anchor mesh cable support method was determined, and the cross point method was used to observe the stability of the surrounding rock of the small coal pillar driving along the goaf. The deformation of the surrounding rock of the tunnel was small, and there was no occurrence of separation, proving the feasibility of the support plan.
