Abstract: Along with the depletion of superficial coal in China, the mining depth is increasing, and the problem of floor heave gets more and more serious. Probing into the problem of slipping floor heave, with the plastic mechanics theory, slipping floor mass is divided into several areas and the calculation formulas of floor breaking depth and critical load is obtained. The stressed characteristic of unit body in the slipping area is analyzed according to the mechanism of bolt action, and the control measure of slipping floor heave is proposed. When applied to practice, the research results can have reference value to field production.

Key words: deep mining roadway, slipping floor heave, Rankine’s earth pressure, critical load, stopping migration
