Due to the complexity of this method, the research method of case-based dynamic on-site monitoring, analysis, adjustment, and optimization is usually adopted. Based on a roadway retaining via roof cutting project, in addition to the traditional indirect monitoring method of hydraulic support pressure, this study innovatively establishes a direct monitoring method for roof caving by monitoring the gangue pressure in the goaf, which provides data for the roof cutting effect and offers a new method for studying the overlying strata movement. In the project, a comprehensive monitoring and analysis system was established, including gangue pressure, cable bolt stress, bracket pressure, roadway deformation, and roof separation, which was used to dynamically analyze the effect of roof cutting and optimize the support design. The results show that the pressure of the hydraulic support close to the roof cutting is low, indicating that roof cutting is favorable in the roadway retaining mining method. The roadway deformation in the advanced abutment pressure area of the working face is small. The mining-induced stress caused by the collapse and compaction of the overlying strata in the goaf is the dominant factor affecting the effect of roadway retaining, especially in the 50\u2013100 m range behind the working face, where the dynamic load causes high bearing capacity of the support elements, large roadway convergence, and roof separation. Temporary support and supplementary reinforcement should be added when necessary. The monitoring system presented in this study is highly comprehensive, simple, reliable, and low in cost, providing a reference for roof cutting roadway retaining projects and roof caving-related studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23073555","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,29]],"date-time":"2023-03-29T01:33:00Z","timestamp":1680053580000},"page":"3555","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Field Study Implementing New Monitoring Technology for Roof Caving and Systematic Monitoring for Gob-Side Entry Retaining via Roof Cutting in Underground Coal Mining"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Ying","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering School, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"given":"Zikai","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering School, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9801-4459","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chen","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering School, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"given":"Zhaoju","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering School, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering School, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"given":"Qianjia","family":"Hui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering School, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"given":"Bingjie","family":"Huo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering School, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"given":"Fengshuo","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering School, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"given":"Zhijie","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mining Engineering School, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Rock Burst Control, Shandong Energy Group Co., Ltd., Jinan 250014, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Peng, S.S., and Chiang, H.S.
