Due to rock movement and energy that is released from the surrounding rock mass it becomes important to use dynamic ground support systems in deep rock burst prone mines. Rock masses can break off from surrounding walls very suddenly when there is an underground seismic event. These rock bursts can cause rock to explode out of the wall or roof and destroy mine roadways and stopes.
Rockbolts, cable bolts, mesh, bearing plates and shotcrete all need to be looked at as one system of support and not just each product on its own that can withstand a large static force.
When working in a rock burst prone environment you will want to consider the following aspects of your ground support system. Ability to resist loads, ability to absorb displacements and energy as well as what system will work best together.
Below will discuss how to properly support ground in a deep underground mine environment that is prone to rock burst. The differences between static ground support and energy absorbing support, how to retain rock to the surface and test methods as well as purchasing information.

Specify rock bolt bearing plates by verifying bolt and washer fit, hole dimensions, material and finish, load evidence, drawing revision, and assembly checks.

When using squeeze support techniques they differ from normal rock bolting practices due to the rock surrounding your excavation will most likely still deform after you have excavated. If you have a weak rock mass with enough stress applied to it. Tunnels and roadways can become subject to large amounts of convergence. Shotcrete cracks and failure of reinforcement can also occur. The excavation will begin to lose width and height.
Using larger or higher capacity rock bolts or stiffer lining's will not solve this problem.
Proper support needs to be designed to accommodate these rock masses and their ability to deform. Based on the situation you can use different types of support such as. Yielding reinforcement, steel supports that can deform. Shotcrete that can be engineered to yield and support being placed at different stages during excavation. As well as monitoring of the deformation.
You want to allow some movement but be able to keep the excavation safe and workable.
Below are some concepts and types of support used when dealing with squeeze and weak rock masses in underground applications.

There are many rock mass classification systems used in underground excavations. Some of these systems can be used to give you a general idea on what supports may be required for your excavation. The RMR and Q-system will allow you to assess the rock mass around you and translate that into numbers and information. They can not provide you with a complete support design for your site however.
When working in underground environments you need to have an understanding on what supports may be used in an excavation. Rock bolts, cable bolts, wire mesh, shotcrete and support are all used to keep your excavation standing.
Using RMR you are given a number and information to go off of to help you design supports for your site. The Q-system will give you more information to go off of as it is made up of different categories and can provide support information for your excavation.
