The load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts differ from those for normal rebar bolts. The cable bolts used in mines are basically steel strands with different constructions depending on the number of wires or elements and the way they are laid. Tendon bolts (rebar and cable) are normally evaluated for their strength and load transfer properties. The tendon strength can be evaluated by the tensi...

Abstract The widespread use of adhesives in timber construction has negative implications for the end-of-life disposal or re-use structural components. To promote circular bioeconomy, it is preferable to substitute with more sustainable alternatives such as wood-based connectors. Today, robotic fabrication technologies facilitate development dowel-laminated (DLT) products whereby hardwood dowel...

Supports for deep mine roadways located in soft surrounding rock face several problems: difficulty in applying pre-tightening force, low bearing capacity, and poor initial support. To solve these problems, this study proposes a high-pressure pre-tightening resin anchor with a compressed grouting body for use in soft and fractured rock surrounding a deep roadway. Using model experiments, we anal...
