Disclosed is a self-drilling resin anchored rock bolt with an elongate body of a suitable metal material extending between distal and proximal ends; and a drill bit engaged to the distal end; which body includes a threaded portion at the proximal end, a resin bore which extends through the elongate body, opening at each of the ends, a first integral anchor on the body, including integrally formed paddle formations; wherein the drill bit engaged with the body has a resin conduit which communicates an exterior of the drill bit with the resin bore; wherein the threaded portion has a first section, with a first thread density, extending from the proximal end, and a second section, with a second thread density, starting at the end of the first section and extending towards the distal end; and wherein the first thread density is lower than the second thread density.

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 drill bit for a drill assembly including a friction bolt defining a longitudinal axial passage, the drill bit being adapted to be releasibly attached to the friction bolt and comprising: (i) a leading end including a cutting part; (ii) a following end; and (iii) an outer surface defining a friction bolt engaging means adapted to releasibly engage with the leading end of the friction bolt.

A cable handling device for an underground mining drill rig, wherein the cable handling device includes a first feeding assembly having a cable bending guide and a first feeding device configured to receive a cable, grip the cable and feed the cable in a first direction into the cable bending guide. The cable bending guide is configured to guide the cable along an arcuate path such that the cable exits the cable bending guide in a second direction offset a predetermined angle to the first direction.

A sensor assembly for a rock bolt, wherein the rock bolt includes a central rod, a split tube and a wedge anchor assembly fitted around the central rod, a rock plate, and a nut for attachment to an outer end of the central rod. The sensor assembly includes a distance sensor, a bracket for attaching the distance sensor to an outer portion of the split tube, an elongate spacing member configured to be fitted around the split tube between the nut and the rock plate to keep the nut and the rock plate spaced apart. The spacing member has an opening extending along at least a portion of the length thereof, the opening being sized large enough to allow movement of the bracket along a portion of the length of the spacing member with the distance sensor attached to the outer portion of the split tube by the bracket.

A setting device for a self-drilling anchor bolt of the present invention includes: a drive shaft, one end thereof having a shank for connecting to an impact tool, and another end being a setting part for pushing the self-drilling anchor bolt axially; a coupling, partially surrounding the drive shaft along an axis, and being supported on the drive shaft in such a way as to be incapable of relative rotation while being axially moveable at least locally; and a releasable locking component, disposed between the drive shaft and the coupling; in a locked position, the locking component is coupled to an extremity of an anchor rod such that the anchor rod is fed axially with rotational striking into a receiving material, and in a released position, the drive shaft strikes a sleeve to advance axially along the anchor rod and expand at an expansion part.

The various disclosed embodiments provide a split set type composite rockbolt which has a slot extending from a chamfered tip of a tubular body portion of the rockbolt and through a neck portion partway to a collar portion. The rockbolt is made of a composite material which has a resin medium with longitudinal and circumferential fibres.

The present disclosure relates to a construction method for a deformable anchor cable capable of being prestressed. The anchor cable includes an outer sleeve, a shrinkage pipe, an inner sleeve, a steel strand, an anchor and a tray. When the anchor cable is in use, a hole is drilled first, then the anchor cable is mounted in the drilled hole, and finally a prestress is applied to the steel strand of the anchor cable. According to the construction method, the construction is convenient; the anchor cable has the characteristics of high strength and large deformation, and can be easily prestressed; and the large deformation is realized by squeezing the inner sleeve by means of the anchor, which completely overcomes the problem of breaking a cold-drawn rod during the large deformation process.

A friction rock bolt assembly is arranged to frictionally engage an internal surface of a bore formed in rock strata. The rock bolt includes an expander mechanism having at least two radially outer wedge elements engageable by an inner wedge element. The expander mechanism is configured for symmetrical displacement of the expander elements to provide controlled enlargement by the rock bolt within the borehole for secure anchorage.

The present disclosure is related to a multi-stage control negative Poisson self-expanding anchor apparatus. The apparatus is constructed to solve the problem of poor effect or even failure of anchor bolts owing to insufficient force area of the bolt and easy damage of the locking section under the action of large tension in the existing technology. The anchorage section mainly comprises a plurality of circular platform bodies spaced with larger outward and smaller inward along the axial direction. The axial inner segment of the round platform body is coaxial connected with the force resistant body, and the axial outer segment of the round platform body is opened with an axial inward through the hole of the force resistant body. The axial inner part of the force resistant body is fixed on the anchorage segment.
