Abstract Coal roadway supporting technology has made a great breakthrough development in China in recent years，which has initially formed a set of bolting support technology characteristic of China. This technology has already been used universally and created prominent technological and economic profit. The new research achievements of bolt support technology for coal roading in China are presented，such as geological mechanics test of surrounding rocks，bolting support design method and software，support material serialization，and standardization of bolting support technology.
