These notes are intended to assist the underground support engineer in choosing the most appropriate, and the easiest to install, combination of reinforcement and support.
ReadmoreFlexible tendons, or cable bolts, have been recognized as an effective and efficient support system for underground mines. In the past 10 years, use of cable bolts has increased substantially. Two of the most significant safety hazards associated with cable bolts are the dissipation of stored energy in cable coils and the failure of cable anchors.
ReadmoreCable Bolts are routinely used for underground roof support in coal, metal and non-metal mines. Since cable bolts in Mining are long, single-section multi-strand tendon supports, they are very suitable for use in deep boreholes and where mining heights restrict the use of long solid-bar style rock bolts.
