ABSTRACT: A fibre reinforced polymeric thin spray-on liner (TSL) has been under development to substitute
traditional steel mesh to control skin surface in underground excavations. Its application can largely reduce the
labor intensity and significantly increase the mining advance rate. In order to better evaluate the shear-bond
strength of polymer liner and thereby assess its geotechnical function in strata skin reinforcement, three shear
bond testing procedures were trialed. The aim of the tests was to evaluate pure shear bond strength of TSL to the
various strata types without the effect of normal stress and to choose the most appropriate test for future routine
testing. The first test method utilized the standard double shear testing procedure using three rock cubes of the
40 mm side bonded together with 5 mm thick polymer layer. The second test method included a polymer ring
5 mm thick and 15 mm wide coated on the periphery of each cored sample. The polymer ring was then sheared
off each rock core with a steel sleeve and shear bond strength determined. The third test method was identical to
the second one except that the polymer ring was partitioned into three segments to eliminate the effect of normal
stress onto the substrate. The results show that to obtain the expected shear bond from the double-sided shear
testing method was difficult due to the bending of the sample. The second test method was not accurate as the
polymer shrinkage during curing time induced the normal stress onto the substrate and therefore increased the
measured shear bond values. The results from the third test method indicate that the resin shrinkage did not affect
the shear bond values significantly as the shrinkage problem was minimised by leaving three gaps between the
adjacent polymer segments. The third test method was considered to be the best testing approach.

ring testing method is not suitable to determine the
