ABSTRACT:
A rockbolt for installation in a bore in the roof of an underground excavation, such as a tunnel or mine, to support the roof, comprises a sleeve having a closed top and ports in its upper end, a plunger slideably mounted in the sleeve, and hardenable binder material encapsulated in burstable cartridges in the sleeve above the plunger. The rockbolt is inserted into the bore and the plunger is operated either mechanically or by the application of pressurized fluid to the plunger, to extrude the binder material to secure the rockbolt in the bore. A mechanical anchor can be provided on the top of the sleeve so the rockbolt can be tensioned before the binder sets. Alternatively, faster setting binder can be provided in the sleeve below the balance of the binder so that it is the last to be extruded and remains near the top to secure the top to the surrounding rock before the balance of the binder sets so that the rockbolt can be tensioned before the balance of the binder sets.
