• Tandem Anchor Bolts are "POINT ANCHOR BOLTS" because

the full length of the bolt is placed under tension. Resin is
inserted into the drilled hole followed by the bolt. Rotation of
the bolt mixes the resin and causes the expansion shell to
expand and place the bolt in tension. This system incorporates
both mechanical (expansion shell) and resin anchorage. Resin

The Wedge Anchorage of the Cable Bolt
The anchorage of most cable bolts consists of
a wedge barrel and a 2- or 3-part wedge. The
wedge segments grip the cable by means of tooth
shaped threads which are forced into the surface
of the cable wires.
The clamping force W is highly dependent on

the friction between wedge and wedge hole.
For normal friction conditions, the clamping force
W is more than 4 times the cable pulling force V
and it adjusts with the pulling force V.
Warning: If friction increases (due to corrosion),

a larger F will reduce the clamping force. As V
increases all other forces can only increase if
the wedge can seat deeper into the barrel. If the
wedge is restrained to do so (i.e. by corrosion or
dirt-accumulation), the clamping force can not
increase with the pulling force causing slippage
when the load on the cable bolt gradually
increases during service life.
To avoid slippages during use, it is important
that the cable bolt is fully stressed at time of
installation to a force equal to 0.5 Fu. (i.e. 50%
of the capacity of the cable)
When a wedge is properly seated, radial cracks
may develop indicating adequate seating.
The wedge can be supplied with a rubber O-ring
or a metal spring ring holding the wedge segments
together.

The following are items to be aware of when
using/installing friction stabilizers:
Type of Ground - The nature of the ground
must be evaluated. Soft strata requires a longer
anchorage length to be effective. Soft ground Friction Stabilizer & Plate
results in larger hole sizes for a given bit size
(due to bit rattling and reaming).
(i.e. barred down) before drilling and bolting.
Periodic re-scaling may be required while drilling.
Strength and Yield Capacity of Bolt -The
mechanical properties of the bolt should be
appropriate for the ground conditions, bolt length
and bolting pattern. Pull tests should be performed
to determine initial anchorage of the friction bolts.
Proper Grade Plates - Thin or weak plates will
deform at low bolt tension. The bolt could also
rip through the plate during installation or by bolt
loading. Plates should meet ASTM F432 specs. Undersize Holes - If the hole size is too small
relative to the friction size then it becomes

and bent steel.

Bit Selection - Button bits are commonly up

to 2.5mm larger than their slated size. A 37mm
button bit may in reality be 39.5mm in diameter
when new. This is too large for an SS- 39 friction.
Button bits do wear quickly however, increasing
anchorage capacity and increasing drive times.
Cross or “X” bits, on the other hand, are sized true
to stamped size usually within 0.03". They hold
their gauge very well but tend to drill slower than
button bits. They are preferable to button bits for
friction installation where possible.
Perpendicular Installation - Bolts should be
installed as near perpendicular to the rock
surface as possible. This ensures the welded ring
is in contact with the plate all round. Bolts not
perpendicular to the plate and rock surface will
result in the ring being loaded at a point which
may cause early failure. Unlike other rock bolts,
spherical seat washers are not available to correct
for angularity with frictional stabilizers.
Installation Driver Tools - Driver tools must
transfer percussive energy to the bolt during
installing, not rotational energy. This is opposite
to most other forms of ground support. The shank
end of the driver must be the proper length to
contact the drill piston in stopers and jacklegs (i.e.
4¼" long for 7/8" hex drill steel). The shank end
on the drivers is round so as to not engage the
rotation of the drill. The driver tools must have the
proper end shape to fit into the friction without
binding and causing damage to bolt during
installation.
Education - Proper education of mining personnel
and supervisors is mandatory. As manpower
turnover is relatively frequent in bolting crews,
education must be continuous. An informed
workforce will save money in the long run.
Monitoring - Installation must be monitored
to ensure proper procedures and quality are
maintained. Pull-test measurements should be
routinely conducted on friction stabilizers to
check initial anchorage values.

Custom Protective Coatings

In general, regular expandable rock bolts are not resistant to corrosive environments. To alleviate this problem
in mining and tunneling applications, DSI is using a special coating that isolates and actively protects the
steel. Neither coating interferes with normal installation procedures.
Zinc Epoxy Coating

Zinc Coated OMEGA-BOLT® rock bolts are recommended for mid-term support in tunneling, civil engineering
and mining applications, where non acidic to slightly acidic corrosive environments can be expected.
This coating consists of a zinc rich epoxy coating that acts as a physical barrier as well as a galvanic
protection against corrosion.
Product Application
• High Humidity or ground water
• Alkaline (low pH)
• Basic (high pH)
• High Abrasive Environment
Polymer Acid Impervious Coating

Polymer coated OMEGA-BOLT® rockbolts are endorsed for mid-term support in tunneling, civil engineering
and mining applications, in most environments, where highly acidic corrosive environments are found.
This polymer coating creates a physical barrier that is impenetrable by most acids, bases, alkalizes and
highly electronegative solutions. This includes but is not limited to sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and
sodium hydroxide. This coating is also highly abrasion resistant.
Product Application
• Highly Acidic and Basic Solutions (H2SO4, HCl, NaOH)

Installation Guidelines
Dynamic OMEGA-BOLT®
Manual Installation Procedure
The Dynamic OMEGA-BOLT®

benefits from the same operational
procedure as conventional
inflatable friction stabilizers,
providing a fast, clean and safe
installation.
1. Drill a 45 - 48 [mm] hole (min

43 - max 51 [mm]). The hole depth
should exceed the length of the
Dynamic OMEGA-BOLT®.
2. Mount the face place onto the

Dynamic OMEGA-BOLT®.
3. Insert the Dynamic OMEGA-

BOLT® in the pre-drilled hole.
Connect to a standard electric
pump equipped with an OMEGA-
BOLT® 160/200/240 inflation chuck.
The pump must be pre-set to reach
a minimum pressure of 240 [bar]
(max 300 [bar]).
4. Press the trigger and pump the

bolt until full expansion (= until
pump stops).
5. Wait a few seconds before

releasing internal water pressure.
Remove the chuck. Installation
completed.
Mechanized Installation
The Dynamic OMEGA-BOLT® is perfectly fit for

automatic bolting rigs and already prepared for water
expanded friction bolts.
The installation sequence remains similar as above, but

is operated via the control panel on the rig. Only a few
adaptations of the water pressure settings (240 [bar]), the
selection of the right chuck and retaining springs on the
bolts’ carousel may be needed.
Conversion kits from grouted bolts to water expanded

friction bolts are available from OEM drill rigs.

Yield-Lok Bolt
Design and Components - Yield-Lok bolt is made

of 3/4” - Gr75 steel round bar. The bar is upset
at one end to specified dimensions to achieve
designed performance under static and dynamic.
Upset and bar is encapsulated in engineered
polymer to build the Yielding Device. End profile
is stamped to aid insertion of bolt and to provide Upset
shredding of resin cartridge packaging. The bar is
threaded at other end for tensioning with nut. Polymer
Principle and Functions - Yield-Lok bolt is fully

grouted with resin or cement in application.
Resin mixing is facilitated by deformations on the
head of bolt similar to rebar. The bolt provides
immediate primary support on installation. Yield-
Lok bolt can be configured to yield either in
dynamic condition (YL-Dynamic Bolt) or yield at Yielding Device
specified loads in static condition (YL-Static Bolt).
Drill hole
YL-Dynamic Bolt- In static condition, YL-Dynamic

Bolt provides stiff support similar to rebar bolt Resin
(refer to static performance curve), while in
dynamic condition, the bolt yields at a constant Polymer
load (refer to dynamic performance curve) to
absorb dynamic energy by pulling the upset
through polymer (i.e. plough effect).
YL-Static Bolt - In convergence condition, YL-
Static Bolt provides consistent yield at specified
load by pulling the upset through the polymer. The
static yielding load of bolt is controlled by varying
the dimension of upset.
In both dynamic and static conditions, Yield-Lok
bolt provides stiff shear resistance.

HEA Mesh
Where ground conditions are rock-burst prone and
challenging, HEA mesh by DSI provides improved
surface containment with the addition of pre-
laced wire strand. In dynamic conditions where an
excavation surface deforms, the strata loading is
effectively transferred to all bolts and tendons, with
a strong connection between the bolts and mesh
offered by the HEA mesh installation.
HEA mesh has the ability to allow large

deformations whilst maintaining a high load
capacity. This “yield-ability” of HEA mesh to absorb
energy in dynamic and repeated loadings can
complement yielding reinforcement as an element
in a complete dynamic system.
Key Beneﬁts
• Superior containment of rock bursts.
• Jumbo specific for rapid installation
• Reduced shotcrete requirement.
• Deformation plus strength for superior
performance.

• Chart indicates inches of bolt encapsulation based on standard 12" length Lokset resin cartridge.
• This chart is prepared as a guide based on average drilling conditions in concrete or rock. Field trials should be conducted
to determine actual resin requirements.

hole. The plate may not be effectively installed.
If holes are drilled too long then resin will be
wasted at the end of the hole. This will reduce continued
the encapsulation length for a point anchored
rock bolt and can reduce the load capacity of the
bolt. The bolt may not be able to be tensioned
adequately.

Spinning of the Bolt - refer to Resin and Cement

cartridge section (Section 9).
Underspinning - The bolt is spun into the resin
cartridge to mix the two separate components (the
catalyst and the resin matrix). Improper mixing will
result in a poor installation. Underspinning results
in inadequate mixing of the resin and insufficient
gelling may occur. Operators will complain the
resin will not set up.
No Spinning - If the bolt is simply pushed through
the resin cartridge without rotation, a detrimental
effect may be caused by the resin catalyst being
picked up by the end of the bolt. This may cause
both undercatalysed and overcatalysed areas to
be created.
Overcatalysed resin yields an understrength
crumbly type of anchor. Undercatalysed resin
stays soft virtually indefinitely because it does
not have enough catalyst to speed up the gelling
reaction.
Overspinning - Overspinning will grind up the
resin as it sets. Poor anchorage will result. The
bolt may not be able to be tensioned properly.
Consequently, the operator will once again
complain the resin is not setting up!
Tensioning with Fast/Slow Set Resins - As a
general guideline, when bolts are to be tensioned,
fast set resin should be used at the toe of the
hole for 1/3" the bolt length (minimum 24"). Slow
set resin is used for the remaining 2/3" length to
fully encapsulate the bolt. The slow set must be
sufficiently slow to allow the plate washer and
nut to be installed and the bar tensioned before
the resin set up. Rebar bolts can be tensioned by
torquing the nut. DYWIDAG bolts require a greater
torque to achieve adequate tension.

The DYWI® Drill Self-Drilling bolt is a fully threaded

hollow bar that initially serves as a drill rod, utilizing
a lost bit. The thread is made to 15010208. For use
in unconsolidated ground or other difficult ground
conditions.
Excellent for spiling (fore-poling).
Bolt is drilled in and grout is pumped through the
center hole with pumpable resin or cement grouts.
The couplers are designed to exceed the ultimate
load of the bar by 20%. The couplers are designed
to minimize the loss of drill energy.
Several drill bits are available. Most widely used is

FASLOC® X-Treme Resin
Description
FASLOC® resin grout anchors are composed of
polyester resin and an organic peroxide initiator
paste. The film barrier, composed of heat sealed
polyester film, prevents migration and premature
reaction between the resin and the promoter in
order to provide extended shelf-life. The barrier
film is strong enough to withstand rough handling,
but allows thorough mixing during the “spin”
phase of installation, allowing you to begin the
reaction only when intended.
When a roof bolt or cable is introduced into the
borehole, the cartridge ruptures and the resin and
initiator are forced into the annular gap between
bolt and borehole. When the bolt spins the resin
and promoter are mixed, starting the reaction
that transforms the mixture into a high strength
solid. The extraordinary strength of polyester resin
based systems results from the relatively high
compressive strength of the cured resin and the
ability to mold to the contours of bolt and borehole
during the spin phase of installation.
Directions For Use
Installation of resin anchored systems are simple
and fast:
1. Drill a borehole to a depth 1” longer than
the roof bolt or cable and insert the required
number of resin capsules
2. Insert bolt or cable into the hole—slow rotation
is optional
3. Spin bolt or cable as required by the spin time
table
4. Apply upward thrust while the resin finishes
curing

deformed bolt or dowel is pushed in. 28mm x 305 mm - 50/bag
32mm x 305mm - 50/bag
Instructions for Use 38mm x 305 mm - 50/bag
1. Remove required number of cartridges from
package.
2. Immerse cartridges in water until there are no
signs of air release (bubbling) from the cartridge.
Do not leave for longer than 5 minutes in water.
3. The cement grout will begin to set in 20 minutes
after initial water emersion; therefore the bolt
must be installed within this time period.
However, it is recommended that the wetted
cartridges be used within 15 minutes to obtain
optimum results.
4. Insert cartridges into a clean hole. Tamp with a
loading stick.
5. Insert the bolt. Bolt will rupture the cartridges
allowing the grout to fill the annular space
between the bolt and the hole.
After 12 hours the grout will typically withstand
the full yield point load of the deformed bolts or
dowels.

Shotcrete Mesh Panels
Shotcrete Mesh Panels are constructed with black
or galvanized mesh and burlap cloth. Stiffeners
are incorporated for three-dimensionable stability.
The panels can be various sizes depending on
application. They are lightweight and can be cut-
to-shape with small bolt-cutters. When Shotcrete
is applied to the panels, the result is a durable wall,
which is resilient to close proximity blasting.
Advantages Uses
• Fast and easy to erect • Construction of walls for lunchrooms
• Non-corrosive if galvanized mesh is used. • Utility rooms
• Concussion-resistant • Building bulkheads
• Protective wall for shaft areas
Installation
• Install grouted dowels on 2-4' centers around perimeter of proposed wall
• Tie 1/2" rebar to the dowels and form a grid of approximately 2-3' squares
• Tie the Shotecrete Mesh Panel forms to the rebar grid using tie wire. The rib stiffener of the panel is
then tied to the rebar. The panels must be butted together and wire tied about every foot. Panels can be
easily trimmed to conform to tunnel of drift irregularities using ordinary bolt-cutters.
• Apply Shotcrete through rebar grid.
• Can also be attached to existing beams on structures.

Crib Systems
Tri-Log™ Wood Crib Tri-Log™ Crib System
Introducing the Tri-Log™ System, the new cribbing • Lowest cost system
method from DSI that saves you time and money. • Capacities up to 1,000 tons
It is designed to replace four and nine point • 100% contact area
cribs as well as other four-sided structural wood • Stable triangle base
systems. This system uses only three pieces • Single specie hardwood
to build each course compared to four or more • Pieces lock together
pieces for the competitive systems. That’s 25% • Less pieces to haul
fewer pieces, so you’ll benefit from significant • Less pieces to erect
reductions in labor, handling and transportation Patent No. 6,079,910
costs.
The unique interlocking design delivers 100%
contact between the nested timber layers. This
efficiency means Tri-Log™ cribs give up to 50%
more support than the average four point crib.
The tripod configuration and interlocking design
provide superior stability, allowing higher aspect
ratios than conventional cribbing.
The angle-cuts of the notches reduces stress
at the overlap and maximizes carrying capacity
throughout the load cycle.
Tri-Log™ cribs are slid into place tight to the roof
rather than having to be lifted over the previous
course and can also be used with ACI prestressing
grout bags or headers.
The finished wedge-shaped cribs promote more
efficient ventilation and air flow than solid square
or rectangular cribs.
Tri-Logs™ are available in standard lengths up to

• Maximum support per given length with
minimum weight of steel.
• Standard variation of plate design for all shapes

• Predictable strength, fire resistant.
• Continuous support during the critical mining

Typical Liner Plate Installations
Three basic ways sof installing plates in tunnels or shafts are illustrated here; each has its
advantage in a particular application or ground condition.
Liner Plates Only

The most obvious advantages of
this structure are that maximum
support per foot of tunnel is
obtained with minimum weight
of steel. Liner plates, properly
grouted or backfilled as tunneling
progresses, form a dependable
structure in either cohesive or
non-cohesive ground. Liner plate
structures generally require no
additional support in tunnels up to
14' in diameter.
Ribs Inside Liner Plates

To give extra support to a liner
plate structure in large diameter
or heavy load conditions, ribs can
be added inside the ring. Liner
plates then act as lagging and are
normally lighter in gage.
This additional support usually
requires an increase in the
diameter of the driven bore to
maintain the dimensions of the
finished inside diameter. This
method is often used in shaft
construction.
Liner Plates Between Ribs

This type of structure is less
common than ribs inside liner
plates because it is harder to erect.
It does offer a practical trade-off
under certain tunneling conditions.
