<p>As the depth of mining increases, the occurrence of seismic events is becoming a more common phenomenon causing serious problems regarding to the stability and safety of mines. However, seismicity and the accompanying rockburst phenomena are not a well-defined ...

<p>Testing of axial load transfer of various Australian cable bolts has been conducted in overseas laboratories within the last two years (Thomas, 2012). The comparative laboratory testing determined that nutcaged cables and indented wire cables provide stiffer ...

<p>The load transfer mechanism of fully grouted cable bolts plays an important role in the performance of cable reinforcement systems. In order to better understand this behaviour, researchers have utilised a number of approaches including theoretical analysis, ...

<p>This paper deals with fully grouted rockbolts, both for mining and civil engineering applications. Their mechanical behavior under tensile loads is reviewed theoretically and experimentally. As for the theoretical part, a new solution able to predict the ...

An extensive axial test program has been used to quantify the difference between the static and dynamic capacities (kN/m of embedment) for friction rock stabilisers once sliding starts. Rough simulated boreholes have been developed for the installation and ...

<p>A research programme has been carried out by RMT in support of the revision of Part 2 of the British Standard for strata reinforcement support system components used in coal mines, specification for birdcaged cablebolting. The present standard is written ...

A new dynamic test facility has been established by the Western Australian School of Mines in Kalgoorlie. The facility uses the principle of ‘momentum transfer’ to dynamically load rock reinforcement systems and assess their suitability for use in rock burst ...

The main objective of this Project was to develop further, where necessary, and apply systems for insitu integrity testing of reinforcement tendons and grout, improved instrumentation for Quality Management of rockbolting and practical risk assessment techniques ...

<p>A unique 45-ton-capacity, pull-out testing system was developed in METU Mining Engineering department. This system is capable of testing different types of rock bolts and cable bolts. In-situ pull-out tests were carried out in Yeni&ccedil;eltek Coal Mine ...

The recent advances in ground anchor technology and the related techniques of cable bolting and rock bolting are reviewed. Collectively the technology associated with the three techniques enable design engineers to address stability problems over a range of ...
