Definitions

  • the present invention is related to the concurrently filed application entitled, "Filler-Containing Rock Bolt Anchoring System and Method of Preparation Thereof" U.S. Serial No. 08/885,348 the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
  • the present invention relates to a novel rock bolt anchoring system which can be used, for example, in anchoring a reinforcement member in the hole of a rock formation or a structural body.
  • the present invention also relates to a method of using the rock bolt anchoring system. Particular applicability is found in the anchoring of mine bolts.
  • Reactive systems for anchoring reinforcing members in holes in rock formations or structural bodies are commonly used in various industries. For example, in the mining industry, reactive systems are used to secure bolts used in mine roofs to prevent collapse thereof.
  • Such systems typically include two parts.
  • the first part is a hardenable synthetic resin component
  • the second is a cross-linking catalyst component.
  • the two components Prior to use, the two components are kept isolated from one another.
  • the catalyst Upon mixing of the first and second components, the catalyst initiates a cross-linking reaction in the synthetic resin component, resulting in a hardened (cured) resin.
  • U.S. Patent Nos. 4,260,699, 4,273,689, 4,280,943, 4,518,283 and 4,616,050 disclose various two-component reactive systems, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
  • the resin and the catalyst formulations can be held in separate compartments in a single container, commonly referred to as a capsule, a sausage, a cartridge, or an ampule.
  • the two formulations are separated, for example, by one or more plastic walls or a plastic film.
  • the capsule is inserted into a hole in the rock formation or body in which the bolt is to be secured.
  • the bolt is next inserted through the capsule to the back of the hole and is then spun.
  • the wall or walls separating the compartments are thereby broken, causing the resin component and the catalyst component to mix together and react, thereby hardening around the bolt.
  • the bolt is held in place by applying a force against the bolt until the resin is set.
  • a hardenable synthetic resin composition that has gained wide acceptance as a component of rock bolt anchoring systems is a composition containing an - unsaturated polymerizable polyester resin and a monomeric polymerizable ethylenic cross-linking agent therefor. These materials, together with a polymerization inhibitor or stabilizer and a promoter for a peroxide catalyst constitute a first part of the system or the resin component.
  • a peroxide catalyst system for initiating the crosslinking polymerization is contained in a second part of the system or the catalyst component. The catalyst component is kept separated from the resin component until the hardening reaction is to take place. When the two components are combined and mixed, the action of the catalyst causes the cross-linking reaction between the polyester and ethylenic monomer to take place, resulting in a thermoset, hard resin.
  • Typical catalyst components are based on an organic peroxide, such as dibenzoyl peroxide. Because such a catalyst is highly viscous, flowability thereof must be increased to improve its effectiveness. It is known to add to the catalyst formulation a diluent, such as mineral oil and/or water, to improve flowability thereof.

Small quantities of the resin compound were placed along the length of the film, near the edge and away from the tape. The material was evenly distributed along the film to a total of 212 grams. The film was lifted along the compound edge and carefully rolled one time, thereby enclosing the compound inside the film and leaving a portion of the film and the tape flat and unrolled. Along this remaining edge, the catalyst was evenly distributed to a total of 24 grams. The edge with the tape was lifted, folded over the roll of compound and sealed along the length of the film, thereby forming an open-ended capsule.

  • Insertion or Installation Testing of the mine bolt resin systems was performed on a solid limestone block, measuring 45 inches long, by 30 inches wide, by 15 inches deep. The intent was to approximate an actual in situ application of the product.

  • Displacement measured in thousandths of an inch, is an indicator of the strength of the cured resin. A lower displacement is especially beneficial, since that measurement represents the extent of movement of a grouted system installed for the purpose of preventing such movement. Yield point, measured in tons, is the force at which the anchoring ability of a resin secured bolt is overcome.
  • Displacement and yield point measurements were accomplished by pull • tests using a standard hollow centered Dyna-Pak 20 or 30 ton hydraulic ram and a limestone block. After the bolt was installed and adequate time was given for the resin to properly cure, usually 5 to 20 minutes, depending on resin speed, a pull test was performed. To perform the pull test, the hydraulic ram was attached to the bolt which was inserted into a one inch hole in the above-described limestone block, preloaded to one ton and the dial zeroed. Then, the hydraulic ram was pumped until the pump gage read two tons. The displacement is a reading on the dial indicator recorded in thousandths of an inch. This step was repeated, increasing the load by one ton increments and recording the displacement at each ton. The yield point was recorded as the maximum load which the cured system was able to support without system failure, or the maximum load prior to the system giving way at the interface between the system and the hole wall.
