Abstract:
Laboratory-based dynamic testing allows rockbolt developers to apply impulses of energy to a rockbolt in order to approximate some loading aspects that the rockbolt would experience during a rockburst in an underground mine. This data can be used to compare a rockbolt’s dynamic performance providing geotechnical engineers with useful information for designing their required ground support system. There are two general sample configurations commonly used in this type of dynamic testing – split-tube test and continuous-tube test. This paper summarises a proposed third configuration – a multisplittube test.
