A rock bolt includes an elongate metallic body having a first end and an opposed second end, a threaded portion at the second end, for attaching thereto and locating thereon, a nut and a bearing plate, a mechanical anchor at, or at least partially located on, a first end portion of the body and a first resistive anchor, located between the threaded portion and the mechanical anchor.

The invention relates to the technology of rib spalling. In the present invention, adjacent support anchors are tightly connected with each other by anchor cables; each of the support anchors are at least connected with an anchor cable tightly extending from four different directions, so that each of the anchor cables constitutes a mesh structure, and a flexible gap corresponding to the thickness of the support anchor is formed between the inner flexible support net and the outer support net at the anchor cable, which not only allows the support anchor to tighten an anchor bolt, but also makes the anchor bolt in the entire region form a whole.

A mining bolt system to anchor mining roofs. A bearing plate has a top bearing surface, a bottom bearing surface and a central hole. An L-shaped angle bracket having an upstanding portion and an upper portion has further defined therein a pair of bracket holes. A bolt including a rod portion and a bolt head passes through the central hole and into a mine roof. A threaded staff is then adapted to pass through one of the bracket holes underneath the bottom bearing surface, wherein, in combination, the bearing plate, angle bracket and threaded staff can be tensioned to provide a lifting force against the mine roof.

A component and method for evaluating load at a mine roof. An embossed bearing plate and a reinforcing washer are combined to thereby form a bearing system, wherein the bearing plate is a grade 2 plate (“x−1”), the bearing plate including a back surface which is adapted to contact a mine roof, an opposite surface and an aperture through which a shaft portion of a bolt can extend, the reinforcing washer including a rigid member having a first surface shaped to contact and complement the opposite surface of the bearing plate, a second opposing surface and a washer hole for alignment with the aperture through which the shaft can extend; driving a bolt with the shaft through the bearing system into a location of the mine roof, and, inspecting a curl of the grade 2 plate, wherein the curl and uniformity thereof is indicative of a load of around 20,000 pounds at the location.

It discloses a grouting bolt-cable composite beam and supporting method for advanced support of fractured surrounding rock in deep coal mines. The quadrate plates are fixed at both ends of the steel beam, the anchor cable holes are arranged in the center of the steel beam and the quadrate plates, and the diameter of anchor bolt holes should be larger than that of the grouting cables. There are four anchor bolt holes on each quadrate plate, and each anchor bolt hole corresponds to a anchor plate, the horizontal surface of the anchor plate is close to the quadrate plate, and the arc parts of the four anchor plates are all facing the center of the quadrate plate.

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.
