U-Shaped Steel Support | Mining Tunnel Steel Arch Support

U-shape steel support is a kind of heavy-duty passive support for coal mine roadway and tunnel and underground engineering.It has excellent bearing capacity,strong compressive resistance and stable deformation resistance under complex underground conditions.
Mining roadway support is its primary application,in deep mine tunnels,soft rock roadway and loose coal seam roadway needing stable reusable support structures.
  • High bearing capacity
  • Good bending resistance and compression resistance
  • Good toughness and deformation fitting capability
  • Applied for soft rock and loose coal seam roadway
  • Stable and reliable underground supporting
  • Reusable and high recovery value
  • Easy installation, maintenance and replacement
  • Save timber support quantity
  • Suitable for deep and complex roadway
  • Offering many sizes and steel grades to choose from.

Squeezing Ground Support Strategies for Weak Rock Masses

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.

Using RMR and the Q-System to Select Ground Support

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.

Ground Support Design: Matching the System to Rock Mass Conditions

Design of ground support should always start from what rock mass you have in front of you. It should never be based on one rock bolts ability to support ground. There are many types of rock mass that will require different support systems. From competent jointed rock, very broken rock mass, squeezing ground and even rockburst ground.
When designing ground support you want to make sure your system can withstand what type of failure you may encounter. Shape of opening, stresses present at the site, ground water and time the support needs to last.
Classifying your rock mass with systems such as RMR, Q and GSI will allow you to determine how good your ground is. These classification systems should be used along side further analysis and checked at site.
Below we will go into detail about matching rock bolts, cable bolts, self drilling anchors, mesh and shotcrete to your ground conditions.

Galvanized vs Bare vs Epoxy-Coated Bolts: Choosing by Design Life

Corrosion protection for rock bolts needs to be taken into account when using them in an underground environment. There are many different factors to consider when deciding whether to use bare steel rock bolts, hot-dip galvanized rock bolts or epoxy coated rock bolts.
Design life, water table and corrosive environment. How will the anchor be installed? Will it be damaged during installation? What inspections will need to be performed. All these will play a role in determining the right corrosion protection to use on your rock bolt.
Bare steel rock bolts can be used on temporary excavations if corrosion is not expected and allowed by the engineer designing the project. Hot-dip galvanized rock bolts have zinc coating which can increase the life of your rock bolt in certain environments. Epoxy coated rock bolts are another option they just depend on what the coating will come into contact with and if there's any damage during install.
As long as you choose the correct corrosion protection for your design life your fine.
Below we will cover all three types of rock bolts and what to consider when buying rock bolts for underground applications.
