Structural Evaluation of Cable Bolts under Static Loading

Rock bursts are a natural phenomenon that caused by high stresses and faults within the deep geological profile. The framework mining excavations, comprising various rock face supports such as cable bolts, is required to withstand bursts. These mechanisms subject static dynamic loading conditions which possess unique challenges. This study focused on shearing impact of loads key structural support mechanism designed absorb energy investigate impacts bolt diameter strength. A double shear test was modelled using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software ABAQUS/Explicit. Modelling (FEM) creating individual parts, assigning material contact properties applying load directly central block. Because ABAQUS/Explicit used, primarily analysis tool, quasi-static loading, applied negate time scale. total six diameters strengths were tested. positive correlation exhibited between diameter, yield strength maximum force displacement.
