Oversized holes can be caused by using the wrong
bit size, leaving the drill running while ushing the
hole, soft ground (faults, gouge, etc.j and bent
steel.
Undersize Holes - lf the hole size is too small
relative to the friction size then it becomes extremely
difcult to install the bolt. The bolt can be damaged
ie. kinked or bent when installed. Undersized holes
are usually caused by worn bits and/or wrong bit
sizes being used. lf integral steel is used with a
stoper or jackleg, the hole diameter decreases
with each change of steel (normal practice requires
smaller bits be used as one drills deeper into the
holej. With each reduction in hole diameter the
anchorage capacity increases. lntegral steel often
results in crooked holes and should be avoided
whenever possible.
Drive Times - For a typical 5 or 6 foot friction bolt,
a stoper or jackleg will drive the bolt into the hole
in 8 to 15 seconds. This drive time corresponds to
proper initial anchorages of the stabilizer. Faster
drive times should serve as a warning that the hole
size is too large and thus the initial anchorage of
the bolt will be too low. Longer drive times indicate
smaller holes sizes probably caused by bit wear.

Installation Quality Guidelines
Friction Stabilizers
The following are items to be aware of when
using/installing friction stabilizers:
Type of Ground - The nature of the ground must be
evaluated. Soft strata requires a longer anchorage
length to be effective. Soft ground results in larger
hole sizes for a given bit size (due to bit rattling and
reamingj.
Scaling - The ground should be thoroughly scaled
(i.e. barred downj before drilling and bolting.
Periodic re-scaling may be required while drilling.
Strength and Yield Capacity of Bolt -The mechanical
properties of the bolt should be appropriate for the
ground conditions, bolt length and bolting pattern.
Pull tests should be performed to determine initial
anchorage of the friction bolts.
Proper Grade Plates - Thin or weak plates will
deform at low bolt tension. The bolt could also
rip through the plate during installation or by bolt
loading. Plates should meet ASTM F432 specs.
Hole Condition - The hole should be cleaned and
examined to ensure the friction bolt will insert
smoothly. variation in hole diameters (due to differing
strengths of rock strata or excessively fragmented
groundj can yield variations in anchorage capacities
at various elevations.
Hole Length - lf holes are drilled too short then the
bolt will stick out of the hole and the plate will not
make contact with the rock surface. Damage to the
bolt will result if an attempt is made to drive the bolt
further than the hole length will permit. The hole
should thus be a few inches deeper than the bolt
length being used.
Oversize Holes - The hole size required for the
friction stabilizer is the most crucial aspect of the
installation. The holding power of the bolt relies on
the fact that the hole is smaller than the diameter
of the bolt. The larger the hole relative to the
bolt diameter, the less the holding force (at least
initiallyj.
10/19/05 www.dsigroundsupport.com
DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
Bit Selection - Button bits are commonly up to
2.5mm larger than their slated size. A 37mm button
bit may in reality be 39.5mm in diameter when new.
This is too large for an SS- 39 friction. Button bits
do wear quickly however, increasing anchorage
capacity and increasing drive times. Cross or X"
bits, on the other hand, are sized true to stamped
size usually within 0.03". They hold their gauge very
well but tend to drill slower than button bits. They
are preferable to button bits for friction installation
where possible.
Perpendicular Installation - Bolts should be
installed as near perpendicular to the rock surface as
possible. This ensures the welded ring is in contact
with the plate all round. Bolts not perpendicular to
the plate and rock surface will result in the ring being
loaded at a point which may cause early failure.
Unlike other rock bolts, spherical seat washers are
not available to correct for angularity with frictional
stabilizers.
Installation Driver Tools - Driver tools must transfer
percussive energy to the bolt during installing, not
rotational energy. This is opposite to most other
forms of ground support. The shank end of the
driver must be the proper length to contact the drill
piston in stopers and jacklegs (i.e. 4-1/4" long for
7/8" hex drill steelj. The shank end on the drivers is
round so as to not engage the rotation of the drill.
The driver tools must have the proper end shape
to t into the friction without binding and causing
damage to bolt during installation.
Education - Proper education of mining personnel
and supervisors is mandatory. As manpower
turnover is relatively frequent in bolting crews,
education must be continuous. An informed
workforce will save money in the long run.
Monitoring - lnstallation must be monitored
to ensure proper procedures and quality are
maintained. Pull-test measurements should be
routinely conducted on friction stabilizers to check
initial anchorage values.

DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
The Wedge Anchorage of the Cable Bolt
The anchorage of most cable bolts consists of a
wedge barrel and a 2- or 3-part wedge. The wedge
segments grip the cable by means of tooth shaped
threads which are forced into the surface of the
cable wires.
Warning: lf friction increases (due to corrosionj,
a larger F will reduce the clamping force. As v
increases all other forces can only increase if the
wedge can seat deeper into the barrel. lf the wedge
is restrained to do so (i.e. by corrosion or dirt-
accumulationj, the clamping force can not increase
with the pulling force causing slippage when the
load on the cable bolt gradually increases during
service life.
To avoid slippages during use, it is important that
the cable bolt is fully stressed at time of installation
to a force equal to 0.5 Fu. (ie. 50% of the capacity
of the cablej
The clamping force W is highly dependent on the
friction between wedge and wedge hole. For normal
friction conditions, the clamping force W is more
than 4 times the cable pulling force v and it adjusts
with the pulling force v.
When a wedge is properly seated, radial cracks
may develop indicating adequate seating.
The wedge can be supplied with a rubber O-ring
or a metal spring ring holding the wedge segments
together.

Fillet on Forged Head Rebar - Forged head rebar
bolts should be inspected to ensure a llet of
1
/8"
radius is present where the shaft connects to the
forged head. Sharp transitions may weaken the
bolt.
Shelf Life of Resin - Resin has a practical shelf life.
Although the chemical ingredients do not change
with time, most resin cartridges are water based
and thus dry out with age. The shelf life thus refers
to the workability of the resin cartridge. Aged
cartridges are still effective, however, because
they are drier, the ingredients are crumbly and
harder to mix properly. The bolts are more difcult
to insert through old resin as well. Set times may
also be reduced somewhat with older resin. The
resin cartridge box will have the manufacturing
date written on it. Resin should be used as soon
as possible. Stock should be rotated so older resin
does not accumulate.
Storage - Resin should be stored in a cool location
to maximize shelf life. Elevated temperatures dry
out the resin cartridges.
Temperature and Set Time - Temperature greatly
affects the gel (setj time of resin cartridges. A
20F rise in temperature reduces the set time by
approximately 50%. Conversely, a 20F drop in
temperature will approximately double the set time
of the resin. Resin should be stored and used at
room temperature whenever possible.
Installation Quality Guidelines
Rebar and Dywidag Threadbar Bolts
The following are items to be aware of when using/
installing resin grouted rebar and Dywidag rock
bolts:
Type of Ground - The nature of the ground must be
evaluated. Soft strata requires a larger plate washer
bearing area and a longer anchorage length if point
anchored. Soft ground results in larger hole sizes
for a given bit size (due to bit rattling and reamingj.
This can adversely affect the mixing of the resin.
Scaling - The ground should be thoroughly scaled
i.e. barred down, before drilling and bolting. Periodic
re-scaling may be required while drilling.
Strength and Yield Capacity of Bolt - The mechanical
properties of the bolt should be appropriate for the
ground conditions, bolt length and bolting pattern.
Pull tests should be performed to determine yield
and ultimate strengths of the bolts as well as resin
anchorage capacities.
Condition of Rebar Threads - Threaded rebar should
be inspected before installation. lncreased friction
on the threads can adversely affect tensioning of
the rebar. Dywidag threads are generally immune to
defects and damage.
10/19/05 www.dsigroundsupport.com
DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
Resin Size, Bolt Size and Hole Size - The size of
the bolt relative to the cartridge and hole size is
critical. The above chart gives the recommended
combinations of bar, hole and cartridge sizes. The
numbers in the chart refer to the yield i.e. length of
encapsulation of the bolt per 12" resin cartridge.
Blank spaces are non-recommended bolt and hole
combinations.
Hole Condition - The hole should be cleaned and
examined to ensure the resin cartridges and the
rock bolt will insert smoothly.
Hole Length - lf holes are drilled too short then
excessive lengths of the bolt will stick out of the
hole. The plate may not be effectively installed.
lf holes are drilled too long then resin will be
wasted at the end of the hole. This will reduce the
encapsulation length for a point anchored rock bolt
and can reduce the load capacity of the bolt. The
bolt may not be able to be tensioned adequately.
Oversize Holes - lf the hole size is too large relative
to the bolt size, poor mixing of the resin will result.
The grout yield per resin cartridge will also be
reduced. This is particularly important with point
anchored bolts. Oversized holes can be caused by
using the wrong bit size, leaving the drill running
while ushing the hole, soft ground (faults, gouge,
etc.j and bent drill steel.
Undersized Holes - Undersized holes will result
in insufcient bonding of the bolt to the rock.
Difculties in inserting the bolt into the hole may
also be experienced. Undersized holes are usually
caused by worn bits and/or wrong bit sizes being
used.
Installation Quality Guidelines continued
Resin Usage
10/19/05 www.dsigroundsupport.com
DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
Spinning of the Bolt - To ensure proper mixing of
the resin components, spinning of the bolt should
be started before the bolt is halfway up the hole.
A minimum of 60 revolutions of the bolt should be
attained whenever possible (for stoper and jackleg
installationj. For mechanised equipment with a
rotation rate of 100 to 500 rpm, rotation should
start when contact is made with the rst cartridge.
The bolt should be inserted at 2" to 4" per second.
When the bolt reaches the back of the hole, rotation
should continue for another 10 to 15 seconds. The
bolt should then be held in place until the resin sets
up.
Underspinning - The bolt is spun into the resin
cartridge to mix the two separate components (the
catalyst and the resin matrixj. lmproper mixing will
result in a poor installation. Underspinning results
in inadequate mixing of the resin and insufcient
gelling may occur. Operators will complain the resin
will not set up.
No Spinning - lf the bolt is simply pushed through
the resin cartridge without rotation, a detrimental
effect may be caused by the resin catalyst being
picked up by the end of the bolt. This may cause
both undercatalysed and overcatalysed areas to be
created.
Overcatalysed resin yields an understrength
crumbly type of anchor. Undercatalysed resin stays
soft virtually indenitely because it does not have
enough catalyst to speed up the gelling reaction.
Overspinning - Overspinning will grind up the resin
as it sets. Poor anchorage will result. The bolt may
not be able to be tensioned properly. Consequently,
the operator will once again complain the resin is
not setting up!
Tensioning with Fast/Slow Set Resins - As a general
guideline, when bolts are to be tensioned, fast set
resin should be used at the toe of the hole for
1
/3 the
bolt length (minimum 24"j. Slow set resin is used
for the remaining
2
/3 length to fully encapsulate the
bolt. The slow set must be sufciently slow to allow
the plate washer and nut to be installed and the
bar tensioned before the resin set up. Rebar bolts
can be tensioned by torquing the nut. Dywidag
bolts require a greater torque to achieve adequate
tension.
Installation Quality Guidelines continued
10/19/05 www.dsigroundsupport.com
DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
Proper Grade Plates - Thin or weak plates will deform
at low bolt tension. The bolt could also rip through
the plate during installation or by bolt loading.
Plates should meet ASTM F432 standards.
Perpendicular Installation - Bolts should be
installed as near perpendicular to the rock surface
as possible. Bolts not perpendicular to the plate and
rock surface will be marginally weaker and will not
be pretensioned properly. Spherical seat washers
are available to correct for angularity.
Hardened Steel Washers - Hardened steel washers
should be used between the forged head or nut and
the plate washer. The washer reduces friction and
enhances tensioning in threaded rebar. Minimum
grade should be ASTM F436 Type 1 or 2 and hole
size in plate washer should be no more than
3
/8"
diameter larger than bolt size if a spherical seat
washer is not used.
Rock Bolt Dollies - lnstallation dollies should
only transfer rotational energy to the bolt during
installation, not percussive energy when drills are
used to rotate the bolt. The shank end of the dollie
must be short enough to avoid contact with the
drill piston in stopers and jacklegs. Typically, these
rock bolt dollies have a
7
/8" hex shank and are
only 3
1
/4" long. Besides being the proper size for
the rock bolt head or nut, the dolly must also have
sufcient socket depth to allow nuts to be run onto
the threaded portion of the bolt.
Gloves - Gloves and eye wear should be worn when
handling resin.
Odour - Polystyrene monomers in the resin have
a particularly noticeable smell. Properly installed
bolts (i.e. properly set up resinj will have no odour.
The smell of styrene underground implies broken
cartridges at the work place or insufciently mixed
resin in the hole.
Education - Proper education of mining personnel
and supervisors is mandatory. Resin anchored bolts
in particular require skilled miners. As manpower
turnover is relatively frequent in bolting crews,
education must be continuous. Forget this and you
waste money.
Monitoring - lnstallation must be monitored to ensure
proper procedures and quality are maintained. Pull-
test measurements should be routinely conducted
on resin anchored bolts. Torque measurements can
also be taken on threaded rebar bolts and monitored
for changes. Torque testing is best done by a crew
supervisor (or dedicated technicianj while visiting
work areas during his rounds.
Packaging - vendors must package bolting products
in an acceptable manner both for convenience of
use as well as prevention of damage to the product
during shipping and handling. Particular care must
be paid to wrapping of the thread ends to prevent
damage and corrosion. Resin cartridges must
be robust so as to not rip or tear during normal
handling. Good packaging costs more but is worth
the added cost by reducing wastage on site.

Condition of Threads - Threads should be inspected
before installation. lncreased friction on the threads
adversely affects the torque tension relationship.
Fillet on Forged Head - Forged head rock bolts
should be inspected to ensure a llet of
1
/8" radius
is present where the shaft connects to the forged
head. Sharp transitions may weaken the bolt.
Hole Length - Holes too short for the bolt in use
may cause the shell to distort or inhibit proper
tensioning of the bolt. Good practice suggests that
the hole length should be equal to the bolt length
plus shell length.
Hole Condition - The hole should be cleaned and
examined to ensure the bolt will insert smoothly.
Damage to the shell may result if it must be forced
into the hole.

Installation Quality Guidelines
Mechanical Rockbolts
The following are items to be aware of when
installing mechanical rock bolts (forged head and
threaded both end [TBE| boltsj:
Type of Ground - The nature of the ground must be
evaluated. Soft strata requires a larger plate washer
and/or expansion shell bearing area. Greater
expansion of the expansion shell leaves may be
required. Soft ground results in larger hole sizes for
a given bit size (bit rattling and reamingj. Special
anchors are available for soft ground. Excessively
hard ground can be detrimental as well. Hard
ground can result in poor anchorage as the shell is
unable to bite" into the rock.
Scaling - The ground should be thoroughly scaled
i.e. barred down, before drilling and bolting. Periodic
re-scaling may be required while drilling.
Strength and Yield Capacity of Bolt - The
mechanical properties of the bolt should be
appropriate for the ground conditions, bolt length
and bolting pattern. Pull tests and torque-tension
tests should be performed to determine yield
strengths and anchorage capacities of the bolts
being used.
10/19/05 www.dsigroundsupport.com
DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
Oversize Holes - Holes
1
/8" oversized can reduce
holding strength by 70%. Oversized holes can be
caused using the wrong bit size, leaving the drill
running while ushing the hole, soft ground (faults,
gouge, etc.j and bent drill steel.
Undersized Holes - Undersized holes will not permit
the plug in the expansion shell to seat properly. The
leaves or bail can break and distort upon forced
entry. Undersized holes are usually caused by worn
bits and/or wrong bit sizes being used.
Friction Flair Expansion Shells - A recent
improvement in expansion shell design is the
addition of airs or wings on the bail strap at the
bottom of the leaves. lnstallation is improved as
there is no need to set the anchor to keep the bolt
from sliding out of the hole during installation. The
anchor sets up faster as the plug engages the
leaves freely. Spinning of the anchor in the hole is
prevented, thereby eliminating the principal cause
of bolt failure upon installation.
Resin Anchors - Using a resin cartridge to assist
in anchoring mechanical rockbolts is gaining
popularity. lf used with an expansion shell, the shell
must have provisions for the passage of resin around
the shell wedge. This ensures proper encapsulation
of the expansion shell without causing any damage
to the assembly.
Expansion Shell Plastic Sleeve - The plastic sleeve
holding the leaves together on an expansion shell
should be removed prior to installation. lf left on it
could result in poor anchorage.
Set Up of Expansion Shell - lmmediately prior to
installation the expansion shell should be set to the
correct diameter to enable the bolt to be pushed up
the hole by hand, set and anchored. lf not expanded
enough there will be difculties in anchoring. lf
expanded too much the end of the bolt can break
the bail or leaf attachment prior to the leaves being
set.

DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
long. ln addition to being the proper size for the rock
bolt head or nut, the dolly must also have sufcient
socket depth to allow nuts to be run onto the ends
of TBE bolts.
Proper Torquing of Bolts - Typically, 3.5 tons of
installed tension is required for a rock bolt to set
the anchor and tension the bolt to 50% of the yield
strength. An approximately linear relationship exists
between the applied torque and the tension in a
forged head rock bolt.
Installation Quality Guidelines continued
DSI - Minings T-Dome forged head rockbolts
have a special concave head design which when
used in conjunction with T-Dome plates, work like
a ball-and-socket and correct for angularity without
requiring extra washers.
Rock Bolt Dollies - Rockbolt installation dollies
should only transfer rotational energy to the rock
bolt during installation, not percussive energy,
when stopers and jacklegs are used. The shank
end of the dollie must be short enough to avoid
contact with the drill piston. Typically, these rock
bolt dollies have a
7
/8" hex shank and are only 3
1
/4"
As TBE bolts turn at both ends during torquing, they generally apply more tension for
the same amount of applied torque due to the reduced resistance to friction. However,
as a generality:

5
/8 rock bolts should be torqued to approx. 150 ft-lbs,

3
/4 rock bolts should be torqued to approx. 200 ft-lbs
10/19/05 www.dsigroundsupport.com
DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
be recorded on the wall or plate of the bolt which
will permit monitoring of the load on the bolt during
the mining cycle. lf necessary, bolts can also be
re-torqued if loss in tension occurs. Torque testing
is best done by a crew supervisor (or dedicated
technicianj while visiting work areas during his
rounds.
Education - Proper education of mining personnel
and supervisors is mandatory. As manpower
turnover is relatively frequent in bolting crews,
education must be continuous. Forget this and you
waste money.
Packaging - vendors must package bolting products
in an acceptable manner both for convenience of
use as well as prevention of damage to the product
during shipping and handling. Particular care must
be paid to wrapping of the thread ends to prevent
damage and corrosion. Good packaging costs more
but is worth the added cost by reducing wastage
on site.
Installation Quality Guidelines continued
Overtorquing - Overtorquing of the bolts must be
avoided. With forged head bolts, the heads can be
weakened or sheared off. Overtorquing may tension
the bolt past it's yield point which is undesirable.
Undertorquing - Undertorquing can result in poor
anchorage. Under tensioned bolts are particularly
susceptible to blasting damage. Bolts will not apply
sufcient compressive force to the ground as per
design requirements.
Monitoring - ln practice, rockbolt tension often
drops after installation. Expansion shells can slip
due to blasting vibrations, shells can move as
high stress concentrations along the leaves cause
localized failure of the ground, and nally, the rock
can fail under the plate washer.
The installation of any ground support system must
be monitored to ensure proper procedures and
installation quality are maintained. For rock bolts
this requires verifying torque and the placement
and spacing of bolts. Torque measurements can
10/19/05 www.dsigroundsupport.com
DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
Matching Bolt and Shell Threads - While North
American mines typically use UNC thread specs,
other countries can use different thread types. Care
must be taken not to mismatch shells and bolts
from various manufacturers. A minimum UNC class
1A thread spec should be met on all threads as per
ASTM F432 guidelines. DSl - Mining exceeds ASTM
specs and rolls threads to a class 2A specication.
Support Nuts - While they are sometimes used
on TBE bolts, the practice of installing a nut below
the anchor shell should be avoided on forged head
bolts. lf the support nut comes in contact with
the shell, friction between these two surfaces will
prevent the bolt from elongating properly and will
give false torque readings as the bolt is tensioned.
Headed bolts should be free to elongate into the
hole through the expansion shell.
TBE Bolt Nuts - Do not run the nut on a TBE bolt
to the end of the threads and onto the shank.
Strength can be reduced by as much as 50%. Each
revolution of the nut onto the shank reduces the
thread engagement length.
Notching of TBE bolt threads - Notching threads
on TBE bolts is a poor installation practice and
must be avoided. This practice locks the nut onto
the bolt which then makes the TBE bolt act as a
forged head bolt. Deep gouging can reduce the
bolts strength.
Proper Grade Plates - Thin or weak plates will
deform at low bolt tension. High torques will
produce lower tension values. The bolt could also
rip through the plate during installation or by bolt
loading. Plate should meet ASTM F432 specs. The
minimum spec is a grade 2 plate which has less
than 0.25" deection when the load on the plate is
increased from 6,000 to 20,000 lbs.
Hardened Steel Washers - Hardened steel washers
should be used between the forged head or nut and
the plate washer. The washer reduces friction and
enhances the torque-tension relationship. Minimum
grade should be Type 2 (ASTM F432 specj and
hole size in plate washer should be no more than
3/8" diameter larger than bolt size. A spherical seat
washer can also be used to reduce friction.
Wooden Washers - Although seldom used
nowadays, wooden washers help prevent the plate
from cutting into mine screen (meshj when present.
The wood may cause tension bleed off however.
Care must be used to watch for rotting of the
wood.
Perpendicular Installation - Bolts should be
installed as near perpendicular to the rock surface
as possible. Bolts not perpendicular to the plate and
rock surface will be marginally weaker and will not
be pretensioned properly. The following example
using a
5
/8" forged head rock bolt installed with 180
ft-lbs torque illustrates the scope of the problem.

DCP Bolt
Double Corrosion Protection by Grouting
The DCP bolt combines ease of installation with
durable long-term corrosion protection.
The hex drive nut and domed washer
are integrated.
The nut has grouting channels through it.
The domed washer transitions to a steel
trumpet that provides a sealing t with a
deformed plastic sleeve.
The deformations of the plastic sleeve center
the bar inside, allow grout to ow inside and
outside the sleeve.
The deformations are designed to transfer the
load from the inner to the outer grout.
The sleeve is a protective barrier against
corrosive elements.
The bolt is installed using an expansion shell
for immediate support.
Patent application led
Installation
The grout nozzle is easily attached over the end
of the bar and sealed against the drive nut. Grout
is injected through the nut. The bar is completely
encased in grout even at the critical inside of the
nut for maximum corrosion protection.
Technical Data
10/19/05 www.dsigroundsupport.com
DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
Installation
Slide a plate over the top of the bolt and insert
the pre-assembled DCP bolt into the hole until the
domed plate bears against the strata. Do not rotate
the bolt while inserting. Important: ensure that the
HDPE sheath does not scrape against the collar of
the hole.
Pre-loading
Once the plate is hard against the rock face, apply
left-hand rotation to engage the expansion shell.
Pre-load the DCP bolt to the required torque. Use a
torque wrench with a 36mm (1-3/8"j deep socket.
Note: percussion must not be used for tightening
the nut.
Load testing (if required)
A minimum of 30mm (1.2"j of bolt thread must
protrude behind the nut. lnstall the testing
equipment and perform loading tests - however,
do not overstress the bar. Warning: never stand
behind the jack during testing and read DSl's Safety
and Operating lnstruction prior to testing.
Post-grouting
The cement grout mixture must be thick enough
to adhere to an overturned hand (mayonnaise
consistencyj. The optimal water:cement ratio
is 0.30:1 by weight for Type l-ll cement. This is
equivalent to 0.3 lbs of water per 1 lb of cement
or 3.4 gallons of water per 94 lb sack of cement.
A typical 2 or 3 stage progressive cavity pump can
pump a 0.30:1 water:cement ratio grout through a
" hose for 15m (45-ftj and 6m (10-ftj of bolt.

DCP Bolt
Typical Installation Procedure
Description
The DSl Double Corrosion Protected Bolt (DCP
Boltj is a pre-tensioned & post-grouted rock bolt.
lt allows for immediate ground support using an
expansion shell and has a high density corrugated
polyethylene (HDPEj sheath along the bar length
that provides long term corrosion protection and
load transfer. The system can also be provided with
triple corrosion protection (TCP Boltj using special
anti-corrosion bars, galvanizing or epoxy-coating.
Components
The DCP Bolt comprises a 7/8" diameter steel bar
pre-assembled with an expansion shell, corrugated
polyethylene (HDPEj sheath attached to a grouting
bell and domed hex nut (36mm A/Fj. The nut is
slotted for post-grouting. The required dome plates
are supplied separately and are generally ASTM
F432 grade 2 or 3 material.
Bolt Handling
DCP bolts must be kept clean at all times. Care
must be taken not to damage the HDPE sheath,
grout bells and expansion shells during shipping
and handling.
Drilling
Depending on the size of the expansion shell, drill
either 45mm or 50mm (1-3/4" or 2"j holes the total
length of the bolt plus 50mm (2"j. Thoroughly ush
the hole with water after drilling. Ensure that the
bearing surface for the dome plate is within 15
degrees from being perpendicular to the bolt.
10/19/05 www.dsigroundsupport.com
DYWIDAG-SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
lf the grout is thinner than 0.3:1 it may run out of
the hole. lf thin grout is kept in the hole the water
will bleed away from the grout thus failing to fully
encapsulate the bolt.
The normal post-grouting steps are:
Prepare grout with proper amounts of water
and cement.
Pump some grout to the end of the hose,
check consistency and stop pumping. [lnstall a
ball valve in the hose near the Chicago tting to
control grout ow.|
Attach Chicago tting to DCP bolt grouting
adapter.
Connect the DCP bolt grouting adapter onto
the bayonet mount of the grouting bell, rotating
to the right and tightening with the handle on
the adapter.
Open ball valve and restart pumping at a slow
to medium rate until grout appears around the
plate.
Stop pumping and disconnect the adaptor.
Important: if grout drains from the nut and/or
the plate, the bolt must be grouted again with a
thicker grout mix.
Move to a new bolt & repeat above steps.
Clean the grout adaptor thoroughly after use.
Warning: when grouting, the operator should
wear the prescribed protective equipment in
addition to gloves and safety glassed. Consult
the applicable MSDS.

Uses
Minova's Lokset resin cartridges enable bolts
of various lengths to be anchored and grouted
in one easy operation with no need for injection
equipment. Applications include rock bolting in
mines and tunnels, tie backs, rock reinforcement
of highway cuts, dams and powerhouses, vibration
resistant anchorages of equipment, anchorage
of electrical transmission towers and integral ties
between reinforced concrete and rock faces above
or below water.
Advantages
Accuracy - All anchorages can be designed
with reproducible strength characteristics.
Speed - Fast gelling resins enable rapid
installation. Bolts can be installed and
tensioned in minutes, giving immediate support
in mining and tunnelling applications.
Permanence - The resins protect the
encapsulated bolt from corrosion due to water,
salt, mild alkalis and mild acids.
Safety - Millions of resin anchorages are used
every year for critical jobs such as roof support
in mines and tunnels.
Vibration - Lokset anchors are not affected by
vibration and do not require retensioning after
blasting.
Description
The Lokset polyester resin cartridge consists of
a lled polyester mastic and a catalyst paste,
contained in a heat sealed tube of polyester lm.
No reaction takes place until the rockbolt is rotated
through the cartridge, mixing the components and
initiating the curing action. Cartridges are available
in various diameters and gel times.
Installation Procedures
1. Drill the bolt hole using rotary-percussive
equipment. Clean out with air or water (standing
water in the hole does not affect the resinj. The
system permits bolt placement at any angle in
rock or concrete, above or below water. For
maximum anchorage strength the difference in
diameter between the hole and the bolt should
be kept to a minimum (ensuring better mixing
of the resin and catalystj.
2. lnsert resin cartridges. ln uphole applications
the cartridges may be tamped or plastic
retainers used to hold the cartridges in place.
3. lnsert the bar or bolt and immediately begin
spinning the bolt (usually done with the same
equipment used to drill the holej. A minimum
rotational speed of 100 rpm is recommended.
Under no circumstances should bolt be simply
pushed through the resin cartridges without
spinning as improper mixing can result, possibly
resulting in anchorage failure. Spin for about 10
seconds (20 to 30 revolutionsj after the bolt is
completely inserted. Do not overspin.
4. lf both fast and slow set cartridges are used,
the bolt can be pretensioned after the fast resin
sets but before the slow resin sets. This locks in
the prestress load after the slow set resin sets.
Performance Data
Standard rebar, threadbar or deformed breglass
rod can be used with the resin cartridges. Coil rod
and all-thread rod will require modications to insure
complete mixing of the resin components during
installation. Deformations on the bar are essential
to mix the resin and catalyst.
ln boreholes drilled by purely rotary means, or when
underwater anchorage are considered, loadings
will be reduced. Conduct anchorage tests to verify
design assumptions. For underwater applications,
the minimum recommended anchorage length is
24".

Gel Time and Temperature
The gel time of a resin is the time required to
change the resin from a viscous liquid to a gel. The
process involves cross-linking of the unsaturated
polyester resin. lmportant note - working strengths
are reached at 5 times the gel time.
The resin gel and cure times are temperature
sensitive. To insure proper behaviour the resin, bolts
and rock temperatures must be monitored.
Lokset resin cartridges are available in 5 standard
gel times (20W, 35, 50, 90 or 0204, and 1530j. Fast
set resins are colour coded black (20W, 35, 50 and
90j. Slow set resins are colour coded brown (0204
and 1530j.
Viscosity
The cartridges are available in two different
viscosities, regular viscosity (code H"j and medium
viscosity (code M"j. H" series is general purpose
whereas M" series resin is typically used with long
bolts (to 60' lengthj, with hand held equipment or
with breglass bolts and dowels.
Storage
Store resin cartridges in a dry, cool, well ventilated
area away from direct sunlight. High temperatures
conditions can reduce the shelf life. Cartridges
stored in extreme hold or cold conditions should be
allow to normalize to 50-70
o
F prior to use in order
to provide the expected gel time.
Shelf Life
12 months for 23mm to 35mm diameter resin.
9 months for 40mm and 45mm diameter resin.

Uses
Conbextra cement cartridges were developed
to anchor mine and tunnel rock bolts (rebar and
threadbarj and to anchor steel dowels in concrete.
Advantages
Convenient easy to handle cartridge form
Fast curing compared to ordinary
cement grouts
Controlled setting times
No on-site mixing, just immerse in water
Thixotropic and non-shrink
No special grout pumping equipment required
High strength
Non-toxic, non-combustible and chloride free
Description
The system consists of an easy to handle cartridge
containing a cementitious compound encased
in a perforated mylar lm package which, when
immersed in water, will allow controlled wetting of
contents, forming a thixotropic grout. The cartridge
is then inserted into the hole and the deformed bolt
or dowel is pushed in.
Instructions for Use
1. Remove required number of cartridges from
package.
2. lmmerse cartridges in water for approximately
5 minutes or longer if there are still signs of air
release (bubblingj from the cartridge. Do not
leave for longer than 15 minutes in water.
3. The cement grout will begin to set in 45 minutes
after initial water emersion; therefore the bolt
must be installed within this time period.
However, it is recommended that the wetted
cartridges be used within 15 minutes to obtain
optimum results.
4. lnsert cartridges into a clean hole. Tamp with a
loading stick.
5. lnsert the bolt. Bolt will rupture the cartridges
allowing the grout to ll the annular space
between the bolt and the hole.
After 12 hours the grout will typically withstand
the full yield point load of the deformed bolts or
dowels.

Longwall Recovery
Polyester or SUPRGRID
DYWlDAG GridMesh is comprised of high tenacity
yarns, woven into a stable interlocking grid
structure and then re-retardant coated with PvC
for protection during installation.
GridMesh is used for longwall recovery mats as
well as rib control. Longwall recovery mats are
fabricated and assembled to mine-specications.
Light weight - reduces cost and handling time
for longwall moves compared to traditional
chain link.
No sharp edges, reducing injury hazard
associated with chain link.
Conforms easily to the roof or ribs due to the
multilament yarn design.
Stronger than other polymer grids: Since the
longitudinal and transverse members are
crossed and independent, there is less ripping
out at the intersections than with other
polymer grids.
Fast pick-up: High Tenacity Polyester Grid
develops a minimum of 40% of ultimate
strength at 5% strain signicantly reducing rock
movement. Suprgrid develops more strength
faster matching the stiffness of wire ropes. 2%
strain is equivalent to 10" convergence given
10ft unsupported span during shield recovery.
GridMesh is available in rolls made to custom length.
The width also can be customized to specic needs
but common are 6ft, 8ft and 12ft with 15ft being the
maximum width.

Star Plate Specications
The most important features of any roof plate are
stiffness, yield strength and area of contact with the
rock, especially under high loads.
To determine these parameters the DSl Research
and Development team have developed a testing
method which very closely simulates underground
coal mining conditions.
Figure 1 illustrates the performance of the new
STAR PLATE (and compares it with other common
roof platesj for conditions commonly encountered
in Australian underground coal mines. The STAR
PLATE yield load is close to the yield strength of
the most widely used AX type bolt.
Apart from the high strength of the STAR PLATE
(despite its relatively thin plate thickness of 5mmj it
has the additional advantage of providing a larger
bearing area when heavily loaded as shown in
Figure 2.
The STAR PLATE is a further example of DSl
Research and Development Team's world leading
technology in Strata Reinforcement Products,
that seeks safe, cost-effective solutions for the
underground mining industry.
