A mine bolt includes an elongated body having a first end and a second end positioned opposite the first end, and an anchor comprising a tube defining a central opening and a slot extending at least a portion of the length of the tube. The anchor is secured to the elongated body. The anchor is configured to compress upon installation of the mine bolt to anchor the elongated body within a bore hole.

A dry grout composition including a calcium aluminosulfate based hydraulic cement, a mineral filler, a thixotropic agent, and a superplasticizer agent. Also, an anchoring capsule, containing the dry grout composition, for use in anchoring reinforcing member dowel, or anchor elements in a hole of a substrate, and a method of use.

A spring suspension clip configured to suspend a threaded rod member comprises a helical body with an upper end and a lower end, and a clipping section defined as the helical body. Then the clipping section is configured to conform to a threaded section of the threaded rod member to flexibly suspend the by two outward extensions into a space which is drilled and positioned within a section of rock which is to be grouted.

Rock anchors, such as those described herein, allow for substantially complete draining of fluids from interior volumes of the rock anchors. In various situations, corrosive fluids may be introduced to the rock anchor, including inflating the rock anchors and during normal use, such as by groundwater intrusion. The rock anchors described herein include multiple passages for more effectively draining fluid from the rock anchors during inflation processes and during general use.

A rock anchor assembly includes a rock anchor with a flexible element and first/second cylindrical connector elements engaged to proximal and distal ends of the element, a flexible tubular sleeve longitudinally extending between first and second ends, on the rock anchor so end parts of the rock anchor project from sleeve ends; a load bearing barrel centrally bored engaging the first connector element between the first end of the sleeve and a proximal end of the rock anchor, the barrel engaging the first end of the sleeve in sealing contact, the barrel having a grout conduit between the barrel exterior and the bore, the conduit defining part of a grout passage interconnecting the barrel exterior and sleeve interior, when the barrel engages the sleeve; a seal preventing grout outflow but accommodating grout inflow; a tensioner engaging the first tubular connector element, and a mechanical anchor engaging the second tubular connector.

Disclosed are an anti-spalling blocking bar for a large cross-section coal gallery excavation work surface and a supporting method. The anti-spalling blocking bar comprises a blocking bar (1) and a support bar (7). Both a top portion of the blocking bar and an end of the support bar are provided with screw holes (2). A steel peg (5) is provided on an outer side of a bottom portion of the blocking bar. Locking teeth (6) is provided on an inner side of a mid-upper portion of the blocking bar, and a locking catch (8) is provided on one end of the support bar. The blocking bar and support bar are secured, using the screw hole and a screw bolt, to a temporary support device. After removing coal, a tool is used to hammer the blocking bar so as to wedge the steel peg thereof into a coalface (13). The locking catch of the support bar is held within the locking teeth to support a coal heading. After use, the blocking bar and support bar can be retrieved and suspended, using a hanging device, from the temporary support device. The anti-spalling blocking bar offers the advantages of easy installation, good support, reusability, convenient storage, and the like. The invention reduces the probability of personnel injury caused by coal loosening and falling from the heading, shortens the time for establishing coal heading support, and enhances a safety index and an excavation speed of a large cross-section coal gallery excavation work surface.

A method and an apparatus for rock reinforcement are described. The method comprises the steps: to inject a first component and a second component through a first channel and a second channel respectively into a rock hole, wherein the first component and the second component are adapted for rock reinforcement and to inject a blocking agent through a third channel into at least said second channel, wherein said blocking agent provides a barrier in at least said second channel.

A screwing-in system for inserting a threaded rod in the axial direction into a substrate, having a drive machine which rotationally drives a drive sleeve, it being possible to insert the threaded rod into the drive sleeve arranged on the drive machine, which drive sleeve can be connected to the threaded rod in a form-fitting manner and thus rotationally drives the threaded rod, wherein a component provided with an internal thread is fixed between the drive machine and the substrate, which component converts the rotational movement of the drive sleeve into a translational movement of the threaded rod, wherein the screwing-in machine is mounted on a carriage which is movable relative to the component.

An assembly which includes a first member with torque transmission elements, and a coupler which connects together, in a rotatably driving relationship, the first member and a second member. The coupler includes an intermediate section disposed between an axial forward end and an axial rearward end of the coupler, a forward section extending between the intermediate section and the axial forward end, and a rearward section extending between the intermediate section and the axial rearward end. The intermediate section includes torque transmission elements for engaging with the torque transmission elements of the first member, to facilitate transmission of torque from the first member to the coupler. The torque transmission elements of the coupler are automatically brought into a torque-transmitting relationship with the torque transmission elements of the first member when the coupler is engaged with the first member. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.
