A cuttable, sinkable mining bolt system for use in supporting the sidewall or rib in a coal mine. A bearing plate has a plurality of hollow cores defined transaxially therein and a central hole defined axially therethrough, the bearing plate made of modified recycled, rigid PVC compound. A fiberglass bolt is adapted to be inserted through the central hole of bearing plate. Bolt is one-piece consisting of glass fiber reinforced plastic. Head component includes a square head and integral, beveled washer for self-centering in the bearing plate as rod component is driven into rib. Bearing plates are adapted to sink into a refuse stream. Hollow cores of bearing plate reduce the material and thus the weight and expense of the bearing plate while still allowing the bearing plates to sink. Optionally, rod components can be inserted transaxially through the hollow cores to increase the strength and coverage of the system.

A rock bolt and meshing assembly is arranged for installation of a meshing sheet against a surface of rock strata. The rock bolt includes an adapter having a first portion connectable to a trailing end of an elongate shaft of the rock bolt and means configured to receive and mount a meshing clamp to overlay a second section of meshing sheet against an already laid first section of meshing sheet.

Provided are a grouting anchor bolt and a grouting anchor cable for supporting of large deformation and constant resistance and a quantitative roadway supporting method, wherein an anchor bolt comprises a casing, a hollow rod body, an anchor cylinder, a tray, a fastening nut and a clamping pin, a front end of the casing is sealed and a rear end of the casing is opened, a middle position of the casing is provided with a plurality of grouting holes, an inner diameter of the casing from the middle position of the casing to the rear end becomes small gradually, a side surface of a front end of the hollow rod body is sleeved with an anchor cylinder, the anchor cylinder is inserted into the casing and movably connected with the casing, the anchor cylinder is connected with the casing through the clamping pin, a rear end of the hollow rod body is sequentially assembled and connected with the tray and the fastening nut. The beneficial effects herein are as follows: the anchor bolt and the anchor cable simple in structure, easy to process, simplifies operations of supporting and grouting, and therefore particularly suitable for supporting of large deformation for surrounding rocks. The self-bearing capability of surrounding rocks is improved, and the supporting of large deformation of surrounding rocks is provided through constant resistance, thereby realizing organic combination of “yielding-supporting” and “active-passive supporting”; the quantitative roadway supporting method may realize quantitative supporting for a roadway.

A tool to aid in the installation of a rock bolt assembly in a rock hole which includes a drive shaft having a proximal end, which is adapted to engage with a drilling rig, and a distal end which includes a recess which is adapted to receive a trailing end portion of the rock bolt and which has a first seat against which an axially pre-set component of the rock bolt assembly abuts, a tubular sleeve telescopically engaged with the shaft which has a first end, which is adapted to receive an axially moveable component of the rock bolt assembly and which has a second seat against which the axially moveable component abuts, and a second end, wherein the sleeve is reciprocally moveable relatively to the shaft between a biased forward position in which the axially pre-set component and the axially moveable component are spaced, and a retracted second position in which the axially pre-set component engages or connects to the axially moveable component.

The invention relates to a sleeveless energy absorbing rock bolt. A first end of the rock bolt is configured to facilitate the mixing of an anchoring composition and/or anchoring the rock bolt in the rock. The rock bolt comprises manganese alloyed steel, and exhibits, post the yield point thereof, under static load conditions, an increase in load capacity and an increasing displacement until the break or fail point of the rock bolt is reached.

A mine bolt includes an elongated body having a first end and a second end positioned opposite the first end, with the elongated body having a first threaded section, a second threaded section, and a non-threaded section positioned between the first threaded section and the second threaded section. The non-threaded section is configured to yield under loading when the mine bolt is installed with grout in a bore hole.

A rock anchor assembly includes: a tubular sleeve between first and second ends, having an anchor retaining portion opening on the second end; a rock anchor with an elongate body extending between distal and proximal ends, received in the tubular sleeve with the proximal and distal ends of the body projecting from the first and second ends respectively of the sleeve; a tensioning and locking assemblage on the anchor body between the proximal end and the first end of the sleeve, a forward part being engageable with the first end of the sleeve; and a mechanical anchor engaged to the anchor body at the distal end which, from an unexpanded configuration, expands radially to an expanded configuration. The anchor retaining portion at least partially retains the mechanical anchor in the unexpanded configuration. The anchor retaining portion expands circumferentially to accommodate retracted ingress of the anchor in the expanded configuration.

A rock anchor assembly includes: a resiliently radially deformable tubular member longitudinally extending between leading and trailing ends and which has an arrestor formation integral with, or engaged to, a trailing end part of the member; an elongate element longitudinally extending through the member between first and second ends and which attaches to the tubular member at spaced distal and proximal load points and which has a failure arrestor fixed at a point within the member; and a faceplate on the tubular member or the elongate member. When the assembly is inserted in a rock hole, with the faceplate bearing against the rock face, and load is applied along the elongate element that will cause the element to sever above the point at which the arrestor is fixed, the failure arrestor engages the arrestor formation, arresting the ejectment of a proximal portion of the elongate element from the hole.
