Impacts of gloving and un-mixed resin in fully encapsulated roof bolts on geotechnical design assumptions and strata control in coal mines

To understand the impacts of gloved bolts and un-mixed resin on the geotechnical design assumptions used a FLAC 2D numerical simulation was undertaken. The results provided an insight into the way the roof bolts interact, the resultant failure mechanisms/pathways and provided quantification of deformation levels and reinforcement requirements. The results being incorporated into the strata management plans.
