Abstract: The current situation of coal roadway support, especially pressure relief support theory and technology, was summarized. The necessity and engineering significance of the support idea, which is controlling at first, pressure yielding behind and then resistance, was researched. Guided by the support idea, and considering the demand of deep high stress coal roadway support, high strength pressure relief anchor box beam support system was developed, and the high strength pressure relief performance of the system was analyzed, and the function and mechanical property of box supporting beam, yielding link and other combined members were researched. The contrastive analysis with channel steel and I-beam indicated that box supporting beam had the advantage of high strength and stiffness, high-level economical efficiency, good surface protection effect and load-transmitting performance. The result of uniaxial compression test showed that the yielding link had unique second order determinant pressure relief performance, high pressure relief point, long pressure relief distance and good pressure relief stability. The supporting system has the advantage of multiple compound mode, wide area of application and easy application. Based on geological condition of 3302 headentry in Zhaolou coal mine, high strength pressure relief anchor box beam support scheme was designed and simulated. Result shows that the new scheme is better than the original, achieving good support effect in the test section of headentry.
