Deformation and failure mechanisms of the
entry driven oppositely to adjacent working face
includes selection of reinforcing methods and materials, design parameters, and determination of cable prestress. The
monitoring data of entry deformation and stress along the cables during every stage were presented. The state of the
reinforced entry was evaluated based on the monitoring data. The results demonstrate that before the heading face of the entry
crosses the adjacent working face, the influence of advanced abutment pressure caused by adjacent working face upon the
entry is not significant. After they cross each other, however, the lateral abutment pressure will have an evident impact on the
entry. The displacement rate of the entry will be greatly increased and reaches a certain value within a certain distance
between the heading face and the working face. Then, it will increase again with the presence of secondary mining-induced
pressure on the entry when the present working face advances. The fully-grouted cable with short length, high strength and
