Abandoned coal mine roadways are used to construct compressed air energy storage (CAES) caverns. However, the surrounding rock of the roadway is subjected to high internal pressure, which changes the stress state of the surrounding rock and causes rock deformation that directly affects the roadway stability. In this study, …
