Definitions

  • the present invention relates to strata control in civil engineering and mining operations, and in particular relates to a rock bolt for securing the roof or wall of a mine, tunnel or other ground excavation.
  • rock bolts are typically formed with an elongate load bearing element, commonly formed of a rigid steel bar.
  • a known method of installing such a rock bolt involves first drilling a bore hole into the rock face. A sausage-like two-component resin filled cartridge is then inserted into the bore hole, followed by the rock bolt which pushes the resin filled cartridge towards the blind end of the bore hole. The rock bolt is then rotated by the installation rig which also thrusts the rock bolt upwardly whilst it is rotating to mix the resin components and shred the frangible cartridge casing, pushing it towards the blind end of the bore hole. Rotation of the rock bolt is then stopped for a few seconds to allow the resin to cure. The bolt is then tensioned by threading a nut along the threaded trailing end portion of the rock bolt, bearing the nut against a plate washer that engages the rock face adjacent to the bore hole opening.
  • the invention provides a rock bolt having a longitudinal axis and to be encapsulated within a settable material in a bore hole, the bolt including: an elongate bar having a length longitudinally extending between a bar leading end portion and a bar trailing end portion, the length including: an anchor portion trailing the leading end portion to at least aid in anchoring the bar in the settable material encapsulating the rock bolt; and a bar portion extending between the anchor portion and the trailing end portion, the bar portion having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending between the second portion and the anchor portion, with the second portion being configured to elongate at least upon application of a service load to the bar, wherein the anchor portion has an enlarged section relative to the first portion of the bar portion; and an element at least partially constrained to and extending along the first portion, to be bonded to the settable material to at least aid in resisting longitudinal displacement of the enlarged section of the anchor portion relative to the element at least upon application of the load to the bar.
  • the element is a wire.
  • the enlarged section is radially enlarged with respect to the axis.
  • the enlarged section has a non-circular transverse cross- section.
  • the anchor portion is a first anchor portion and the length includes a second anchor portion trailing the first anchor portion and leading the trailing end portion, with the second anchor portion having an enlarged section, and with the bar portion extending between the first and second anchor portions.
  • the bar portion has a third portion extending between the second anchor portion and the second portion.
  • the wire is a first wire and the rock bolt further includes a second wire at least partially constrained to and extending along the third portion, wherein the second wire is configured to be bonded to the settable material to at least aid in resisting longitudinal displacement of the enlarged section of the second anchor portion relative to the second wire at least upon application of the load to the bar.
  • the first wire helically extends along a longitudinal extent of the first portion between a first wire end and a second wire end.
  • the longitudinal extent of the first portion is greater than a longitudinal extent of the first anchor portion.
  • the second wire helically extends along a longitudinal extent of the third portion between a first wire end and a second wire end.
  • the longitudinal extent of the third portion is greater than a longitudinal extent of the second anchor portion.
  • the rock bolt further includes a ferrule to at least partially constrain the first wire end to the bar.
  • the first wire end is welded to a portion of the ferrule.
  • the ferrule is crimped onto the bar.
  • the longitudinal extent of the third portion is different to the longitudinal extent of the first portion.
  • the length further includes: a first deformation portion extending between the first and second portions to constrain the first wire to the first portion; and a second deformation portion extending between the second and third portions to constrain the second wire to the third portion.

  • the rock bolt 100 is configured for resin encapsulated installation in a bore hole 144 (FIGs. 6 and 7). It will, however, be appreciated that other settable materials may be utilised for encapsulating the rock bolt 100 during installation.
  • the rock bolt 100 has an elongate load bearing element in the form of a rigid bar 102.
  • the bar 102 has a length 103 longitudinally extending between a bar leading end portion 104 and a bar trailing end portion 106.
  • the bar 102 will typically be formed of steel. In other embodiments, the material of the bar 102 may be replaced by cable of suitable form.
  • the bar 102 may have any of various diameters selected to suit the particular bore hole 144 in which it is to be installed, and may typically have a diameter of between 12 and 30 mm, with a typical diameter being 24 mm to suit a 35 mm or 36 mm diameter borehole. It will be appreciated that the diameter of the borehole will vary generally proportionally to the particular diameter of the bar 102.
  • the bar 102 will typically have an overall longitudinal length of the order of 1.8 to 2.4 m, but it will be appreciated that the bar 102 may have any length to suit the particular application. For example, the length of the bar 102 could be greater than 2.4 m, and particularly could be 3 m.
  • the bar 102 is threaded at the trailing end portion 106 to define a threaded trailing end 107 of the bar 102.

  • Such mechanism may take the form of a disc shaped insert (not shown) located in the trailing end of the aperture (not shown) extending through the drive nut 108. The insert engages the trailing end 107 as the drive nut 108 attempts to advance, locking the drive nut 108 onto the bar 102 until a predetermined torque is exceeded, at which the insert is ejected from the drive nut 108, allowing the drive nut 108 to advance along the thread of the trailing end portion 106.
  • a shear pin (not shown) could be drilled and inserted between the sidewall of the drive nut 108 and into the bar 102.

That is, the second paddle like deformation 124 is flattened in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of flattening of the first paddle-like deformation 122.
  • the widened or broadened edges of the first paddle-like deformation 122 project laterally in a substantially perpendicular plane.
  • each of the paddle-like deformations 122, 124 typically has a length of the order of 60 mm, a width of the order of 30 mm and a thickness (at the location of minimum thickness) of the order of 12 mm.

  • the length 103 further includes a bar portion 126 extending between the first and second anchor portions 114, 116.
  • the bar portion 126 is relatively smooth. In other embodiments, the bar portion 126 may have a ribbed or threaded exterior profile.

It will be appreciated, however, that the ratio of the longitudinal extent of each of the first and third portions 128, 130 and the second portion 132 relative to the bar portion 126 may be varied to suit the particular application. For example, the longitudinal extent of the second portion 132 may be significantly greater than the longitudinal extents of each of the first and third portions 128, 130.
  • each of the first and third portions 128,130 is greater than a longitudinal extent of the respective anchor portion 114, 116.

  • the second portion 132 is configured to be debonded from the resin, in use, as will be further discussed below.
  • the second portion 132 has a smooth outer surface that results in debonding of the second portion 132 from the resin encapsulating the rock bolt 100 in use, upon application of a service load to the bar 102 which exceeds the shear bond strength between the resin and the smooth outer surface of the second portion 132. Accordingly, whilst when initially installed the second portion 132 may be relatively lightly bonded to the encapsulating resin, the resin readily debonds from the second portion 132 upon application of the service load. Such a load may result from movement or fracture of the rock that is resisted by yielding deformation of the second portion 132.

Accordingly, for installation of the rock bolt 100 with a standard left-handed installation rig, each of the wires 134, 136 will typically helically extend in a right-handed direction as depicted. Each of the wires 134, 136 will be typically formed of steel. In some embodiments, a weld may be placed part way along the length of each of the wires 134, 136.

As resistance increases to the displacement of the paddle-like deformations 122, 124, the rock bolt 100 elongates to provide a load bearing response to the dynamic ground load.
