A typical gateway is analyzed using fully-deformable discrete element method. The fractured zone around the gateway is measured in field. Based on the measurement results and theoretical analysis, a comprehensive support scheme adopting bolt and steel belt is proposed. Discrete element method is used to assess the bolting scheme, and displacement monitoring in field is also carried out. Having been put into practice, it is proved that the scheme is both successful and rational. According to theoretical analysis and monitoring in field, some importan tkeynotes that should be noticed in gateway bolting practice are presented as well.
