Abstract

See full text

A mine roof support system includes an elongated anchor rod or tendon having a rigid non-deformable distalmost anchoring end portion, and one or more axially deformable portions which are configured to deform in the event load forces exceed a threshold force approximating the forces during a rock burst or rock dilation event. The rigid anchoring portion is provided with primary anchor members such as ribs, grooves, studs and the like. The primary anchor members are configured to reduce bar plasticity, and fixedly secure and retain the rigid portion in place in a drill hole. In the event rock forces exceed the threshold force, the plastically deformable portions elongate with the dilating rock to accommodate and absorb the rock forces.
