Under the condition of weakly cemented soft rock in Western China, the surrounding rock deformation of gob-side entry is obvious, especially under the influence of fault, and the problem of surrounding rock control becomes increasingly prominent. To solve this issue, this paper firstly studied and obtained the evolution law of the ground pressure appearance of the gob-side entry in the fault area, then put forward the concept of surrounding rock control in the fault area of the gob-side entry, put forward a targeted pressure relief + increase preload + passive reinforcement parallel to the roadway surrounding rock strengthening control scheme, and carried out field applications. The results show that the roof subsidence and mining side heave of the roadway in the fault area increase significantly, accompanied by the characteristics of broken cables, the length of the broken cable is 0.2 m–0.6 m, and the breaking process is divided into multiple breaks. The stress evolution of gob-side entry in fault area presents a stage characteristic of "rapid growth-stable." The surrounding rock control effect is improved under the bolt cable high pre-tightening support, and the roadway deformation is effectively controlled under the pressure relief + active + passive support, with a good application effect.

The magnitude of pretension force serves as an important indicator of the effectiveness of anchor bolt active support and is one of the significant factors influencing the stability of tunnel surrounding rock. Therefore, in practical engineering, it is crucial to establish the relationship between pretension torque and pretension force. However, current research in this field has some limitations. With a specific mine in western China as the engineering background, this paper first analyzed the influence factors of surrounding rock deformation and failure, established a mechanical model for pretension structure of anchor bolt support, and derived the quantitative relationship between pretension torque and pretension force based on hypothetical conditions. Finally, it proposed the loss effect of anchor bolt support and modified the pretightening loss coefficient for engineering application. The research results show that the actual pretightening force of anchor support is lower due to the influence of deep soft coal seam, which leads to failure of coal pillar under mining stress. The loss effect of surrounding rock on pretightening force was represented by a coefficient k, and the modified value of the coefficient was calculated as 0.19∼0.43. By applying the modified relationship between pretightening torque and pretightening force, it was found that the actual pretightening torque of 300 Nm applied to 11307 return air roadway effectively controlled surrounding rock deformation and failure, with coal pillar displacement less than 120 mm.
