THE INTRODUCTION OF ROOF BOLTING TO U.S.

2012-8-30  Perhaps the most significant development in coal mine ground control during the last century was the introduction of roof bolting during the late 1940’s and 1950’s. From an engineering standpoint, roof bolts are inherently more effective than the wood timbers they replaced. Roof bolts promised to dramatically reduce the number of

Roof Bolting Technology Coal Age

2012-6-1  Roof bolting is hard work, where miners often have to lift cumbersome pieces of heavy metal into awkward positions. When conditions change, and the miners are out of their element, safety can become a concern. High roof conditions can present a problem for people who usually work with low profile machines and vice versa.

Roof bolting in underground mining: a state-of-the-art ...

With continuing investigations and developments, roof bolting today can in most cases successfully reinforce the mine roof in underground mining. In order to cope with the increasing use of roof bolts, efforts should be made to maximize the safety and minimize the cost. With regard to mechanical bolting, two important parameters need more advanced improvements and study, namely, optimum design ...
