Abstract

The article presents methods of making the rock bolt support more yieldable, especially for a stratified roof. Alongside the increasing depth of exploitation of raw material deposits, rock bolt support units are more often designed taking into account more intensive deformations and displacements of underground excavations. In the article, a room and pillar method with mined roof bending and roof reinforcement with bolt patterns of 1 m × 1 m, 1.5 m × 1.5 m and 2 m × 2 m is presented. Moreover, the laboratory tests included 1.8 m long bolts, which were embedded segmentally on the lengths of 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm were tested. Based on the load-displacement characteristics, the deformation energy for flat and profiled dome bearing plates was calculated. Making the segmentally embedded resin rock bolt support yieldable enabled it to perform additional work. Furthermore, it was found that rock bolt support with a dome bearing plate took over 2.5 times more energy compared to a rock bolt support equipped with a flat bearing plate.
