Roof bolt support system has been widely applied in the No.7, 9 seam in Caozhuang coal mine. However, it has not been able to be applied in the No.10-2 seam since the small interburden （2 m） between No.9 and No.10-2 seam. The No.9 and No.10-2 seams are contiguous seams. The No.9 seam has been mined out and the No.10-2 seam will be mined under the gob of the No.9 seam. The roof strata of the No.10-2 seam may have been weakened and fractured due to the shear failure caused by the No.9 seam mining activities. The steel beam sets spaced at 0.8 m have been used to support the entry of the No.10-2 seam. In order to speed up the advance rate and cut entry development cost, a test area, using roof bolt in conjunction with truss-system, was successfully conducted. This paper presents the support system design, application of designed system, and the test results. Test results provide a cheaper, quicker, and safer way to support entry for the No.10-2 seam.
