Improved Safety Equipment for the Mining Industry: a New Yielding Rock Bolt

 

This project is focused on improving mining safety through newly developed yielding rock bolts. Extensive testing work and mechanistic study will be carried out to optimize the design of the new product. Predictive models will be developed to describe the performance of the product during occurrence of rock bursts. The industrial partner will benefit significantly from the project with validated and improved product design. This project addresses an important safety issue in the mining industry and therefore will bring economic benefit to Ontario.
