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...

There is an increasing need to determine accurately the strength properties of tendons for an effective ground control on mines and underground structures as well as on modelling simulations. The strength properties of cables, used as cable bolts, have been evaluated mainly by their ultimate tensile strength, as this kind of test can be carried out in the field as well as in the laboratory. Onl...

The primary purpose of longitudinal safety barriers, such as cable barriers, is to contain and/or redirect errant vehicles that depart the roadway, hence keeping them from entering opposing travel lanes or encountering terrain features and roadside objects that may cause severe impacts. In this study, a detailed finite element model of a three-strand cable barrier was developed and validated ag...

Trusses used for roof support in coal mines are constructed of two grouted bolts installed at opposing forty-five degree angles into the roof and a cross member that ties the angled bolts together. The load on the cross member is vertical, which is transverse to the longitudinal axis, and therefore the cross member is loaded in the weakest direction. Laboratory tests were conducted to determine...

Rock bursts are a natural phenomenon that caused by high stresses and faults within the deep geological profile. The framework mining excavations, comprising various rock face supports such as cable bolts, is required to withstand bursts. These mechanisms subject static dynamic loading conditions which possess unique challenges. This study focused on shearing impact of loads key structural supp...

This paper proposes a new interface constitutive model for fully grouted rock-bolts and cable-bolts based on pull-out test results. A database was created combining published experimental data with in-house tests. By means of comprehensive framework, Coulomb-type failure criterion accounting friction mobilization defined. During the elastic phase, in which joint is not yet created, proposed pro...

As rock bursts are unavoidable in deep mines and excavations with high in-situ stresses, ground support systems implemented to manage mitigate bursts. Cable bolts commonly used as reinforcing elements systems, which subject dynamic loads burst-prone excavations. To design an efficient cable bolt conditions, shear energy absorption capacity must be considered. Numerical modelling is advantageous...
