Rockbolting: Principles and Applications brings current theoretical
and practical developments in the most widely used support device
for underground rock excavations. Today, one cannot find any rock
excavation project that does not use rockbolts for rock support.
The worldwide annual assumption of rockbolts is in the billions,
with pieces applied to mines, tunnels and other types of
geotechnical projects for rock and soil reinforcement. The text is
based on over 25 years of experience of the author both as academic
and practitioner. The book introduces the principles and background
concepts of rock support, and then offers a comprehensive overview
of the mechanics of rockbolting, as well as current rock bolt types
such as mechanical, grouted, self-drilling, grouted cables,
frictional and yield rockbolts. Installation and performance
assessment are covered next including load-displacement curves and
energy-absorption capacities. Two chapters on design and quality
control, respectively, cover failure mechanics, the selection
process and the connections with other supporting devices. On
quality control, the author explains the usual tests and
displacement measurements. The final chapter brings current case
studies that combine the concepts presented in the whole book. The
book is a professional reference for engineers in the mining and
geotechnical industries and can be used as research material for
academics in rock mechanics and stability studies.
