Abstract: The superposition effect of stress field caused by multi-seam mining is one of the important reasons for disasters such as coal and gas outburst, rock burst and large deformation instability in deep coal mines. Due to the influence of mined-out area in the overlying ding 5,6-22260 working face, the mining pressure of Wu8-32020 working face of Pingmei No. 6 Mine appeared sharply in the driving process, and the risk of disaster was high. In order to reveal the stress distribution law of surrounding rock of roadway in the affected driving face, the field test study of surrounding rock stress of wu8-32020 wind roadway was carried out based on the soft rock stress testing technology of rheological stress recovery method. The results show that: the influence of the overlying goaf on the stress distribution of the working face is mainly concentrated in the direction of deadweight stress, with a stress concentration coefficient of 1.75, while the influence of horizontal stress is relatively small. With the increase of the distance from the goaf, the stress of surrounding rock of the wind roadway in Wu8-32020 working face firstly increases and then decreases gradually. Through data fitting, the influence range of goaf is predicted to be about 75m on the right side of wind lane E 8-32020, that is, the horizontal distance from goaf is about 146m.
