Surrounding rock control and support stability in the process of coal seam mining in ultra-large height mining face are the key to normal mine operation. In this study, the roof movement and deformation of an ultra-large height mining face are analyzed, and the working resistance of the ultra-large height mining face is obtained by introducing the equivalent immediate roof. By analyzing the coal wall spalling, the multiple positions of the spalling and the required support force of the support are obtained. At the same time, ultra-large height supports are more prone to instability problems. In this study, the stability of the ultra-large height supports was analyzed by establishing a mechanical model. The results show that: 1. The overturning limit angle of support has a hyperbolic relationship with the center of gravity. 2. Under the condition of ultra-large height, the increase in the base width of the bracket significantly improves the stability of the supports. 3. The sliding limit angle of support is positively correlated with the support load and the friction coefficient between the support and the floor. The above conclusions can provide guidance on the selection of supports and the adoption of measures to enhance the stability of the supports during use under ultra-large height conditions. The working resistance of the ultra-large height supports in the 108 mining face of the Jinjitan Coal Mine was monitored. The monitoring results show that: The average resistance of the supports is 22.6 MPa. The selected supports can meet the stability requirements of the working face support. The frequency of mining resistance in 0~5 MPa accounts for 28.38%, which indicates that some supports are insufficient for the initial support force during the moving process. Furthermore, the stability of the supports can be enhanced by adjusting the moving process. This study provides a reference for the selection of supports in ultra-large height mining faces and proposes measures to enhance the stability of the supports, which provides guidance for the safe mining of coal in ultra-large height mining faces.
