Rocks surrounding deep, high-stress roadways typically undergo a vicious cycle of destruction → repair → re-destruction → re-repair over a long time. This article uses the roadway restoration project of Pingmei Mine No. 6 (400 m underground) as research object. Starting from the plastic area, the characteristics of the distribution of rock surrounding the circular roadway are analyzed, and the influence of the side pressure coefficient, cohesive force, inside friction angle, support strength, and roadway radius on the plastic area is studied. Four types of distribution patterns were observed in rocks surrounding the plastic area of the roadway: round, oval, rounded rectangle, and butterfly. The side pressure coefficient, cohesive force, and inside friction angle affected the distribution and range of rocks surrounding the plastic area of the roadway. The support radius of the roadway and the support strength of its face did not change the distribution of the plastic area, but only affected its size. Therefore, to maintain the long-term stability of weak and broken roadways, the strength of the surrounding rocks must be increased, and roadway renovation should be avoided as it affects the distribution of the plastic area and reduces its scope. Engineering practice has shown that the “anchor net spray + hollow grouting anchor cable” technology for the combined, step-by-step repair and support of roadways, with a hollow grouting anchor cable as core, can suppress the distribution and scope of the plastic area to guarantee safe and long-term use of the roadway.
