The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of bolt profile configuration in load transfer capacity between the bolt and grout. Therefore, five types of rock bolts are used with different profiles. The rock bolts are modeled by ANSYS software. Models show that profile rock bolt T3 and T4 with load capacity 180 and 195 kN in the jointed rocks, are the optimum profiles. Finally, the performances of the selected profiles are examined in Tabas Coal Mine by FLAC software. There is good subscription between the results of numerical modeling and instrumentation reading such as tells tale, sonic extensometer and strain gauge rock bolt. According to the finding of this study, the proposed pattern of rock bolts, on 7 + 6 patterns per meter with 2 flexi bolt (4 m) for support gate road.
