The technology of gob-side entry retaining (GER) has the advantages in terms of higher resource recovery rate and lower drivage ratio. In this study, the GER implementation in N1217 panel in Ningtiaota Coal Mine, to verify the adaptability of the gob-side entry retaining with roadside backfilling, the FLAC3D numerical model was established, the stress evolution law and plastic zone distribution of the roadway surrounding rock were analyzed, the deformation characteristics of the roadway during the mining period were revealed, the roadway surrounding rock control technology was proposed, and the development of roof cracks was analyzed. The numerical results show that during the mining of the working face, the roadside backfill body and gangue are jointly loaded, the peak stress of the surrounding rock is transferred from the mining side to the solid coal side, the plastic zone of the roof and the solid coal side increases significantly, and the tensile and shear mixed failure occurs. Based on the evolution characteristics of the stress and plastic zone of the surrounding rock during the mining period of the working face, a collaborative control technology of the surrounding rock based on gangue retaining bracket + roadside backfill + bolt (cable) is proposed, and the borehole peep shows that the roadway is affected by roof fracture rotation and subsidence, which leads to the development of roadway overburden cracks and failures to the depth. The monitoring results indicate that the control measures are highly effective, with minimal roadway convergence observed and stable bolt (cable) supporting forces recorded. Additionally, hydraulic support resistance monitoring confirms that the roadway remains stable. It can ensure the safe mining of the working face of the Ningtiaota coal mine and other similar roadways.
