Fixed length, dynamic type cables have also been successfully installed using the cable bolting rig. A dynamic cable bolt refers to a cable where a portion of the bolt length is encased in a plastic tube so that it is not in contact with the grout and can stretch along this length in response to ground movement. STEP 1: A hole is
Failure or loss of integrity in a cable bolt system can result due to (1) rupture of the cable bolt, (2) failure of the internal or external anchoring, (3) failure of grout and cable bolt interface causing slippage, (4) failure of grout, (5) failure of grout and confining medium interface causing slippage, (6) failure of the confining medium or (7) a …

1. Introduction. In mining and civil engineering projects, the construction of underground excavations reduces the confining pressure on the rock, allowing the strata to separate, fold and buckle into the void created. 1 Because rock is weak in tension, this buckling action can lead to fracturing of the strata and possible eventual roof failure. To …
Rock bolts today represent the dominant support system in mines and underground structures. Some results and experiences are discussed to give a better understanding of the strength of individual rock bolts and systems of bolts, and the interaction between bolts and rock masses of various types. Topics covered are as follows: rock bolting in theory …
