Introduction
Cable Bolts are
commonly used for rock
reinforcement in areas of
strata movement.
They can be used to
supplement existing
strata reinforcement.

Cable installation
There are two types of grouting
cables in upholes.
First one is the traditional
method of grouting. This method
will be called the breather tube
method.( water/cement ratio 0.4)
An alternative method, called the grout tube
method. (0.3 to 0.35 water/cement ratio).

Cable installation
The principal advantage
of grout tube method is that it
is fair when the hole is full of grout,
And the smaller number of
components required,

Bond strength
As the cable pulls out of the grout, the grout
imprints or flutes causes radial displacement or
dilation of the interface between the grout and the
cable.
The radial dilation induces a confining
pressure.It is proportional to the stiffness of the grout
and the rock surrounding the borehole.

More stretch
More load capacity
Higher shear strength

Conclusion:
Clearly cable bolts are generally
a more costly type of rock bolt
support and hence should only be
used where appropriate from a roof
control (safety) point of view.
