Abstract: According to the actual situation of 12413 shallow buried close distance fully mechanized working face passing through overlying 11^# coal empty roadway in Bulianta Coal Mine in Shendong Mining Area, through the combined research method of field research, theoretical analysis and numerical calculation and field experiment, in this paper, the laws of strata behaviors in the advancing process of 12413 working face before, during and after passing through overlying 11^# coal empty lane are analyzed, and the laws of strata behaviors of 12413 working face passing through overlying empty lane which is parallel to the advancing direction or perpendicular to the advancing direction are studied.
