 Installation Quality Guidelines
Mechanical Rock Bolts
Forged Head Rock Bolt
The following are items to be aware of when
installing mechanical rock bolts (forged head and
threaded both end [TBE] bolts):
Type of Ground - The nature of the ground must
be evaluated. Soft strata requires a larger plate
washer and/or expansion shell bearing area.
Greater expansion of the expansion shell leaves is present where the shaft connects to the forged
may be required. Soft ground results in larger hole
sizes for a given bit size (bit rattling and reaming).
Special anchors are available for soft ground.
Excessively hard ground can be detrimental as
well. Hard ground can result in poor anchorage as
the shell is unable to “bite” into the rock.
Scaling - The ground should be thoroughly scaled
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 and torque-tension
tests should be performed to determine yield
strengths and anchorage capacities of the bolts
being used.
Section 1

Threaded Both End (TBE)
Rock Bolt
Condition of Threads - Threads should be
inspected before installation. Increased friction on
the threads adversely affects the torque tension
relationship.
Fillet on Forged Head - Forged head rock bolts
should be inspected to ensure a fillet of 1/8 " radius
head. Sharp transitions may weaken the bolt.
Hole Length - Holes too short for the bolt in use
may cause the shell to distort or inhibit proper
tensioning of the bolt. Good practice suggests that
the hole length should be equal to the bolt length
plus shell length.
Hole Condition - The hole should be cleaned and
examined to ensure the bolt will insert smoothly.
Damage to the shell may result if it must be forced
into the hole.

Installation Quality Guidelines continued
Oversize Holes - Holes 1/8 " oversized can reduce
holding strength by 70%. Oversized holes can be in anchoring mechanical rock bolts is gaining
caused using the wrong bit size, leaving the drill
running while flushing the hole, soft ground (faults,
gouge, etc.) and bent drill steel.
Undersized Holes - Undersized holes will not permit
the plug in the expansion shell to seat properly.
The leaves or bail can break and distort upon
forced entry. Undersized holes are usually caused
by worn bits and/or wrong bit sizes being used.
Friction Flair Expansion Shells - A recent
improvement in expansion shell design is the
addition of flairs or wings on the bail strap at the
bottom of the leaves. Installation is improved as to the correct diameter to enable the bolt to be
there is no need to set the anchor to keep the bolt
from sliding out of the hole during installation.
The anchor sets up faster as the plug engages the
leaves freely. Spinning of the anchor in the hole is
prevented, thereby eliminating the principal cause
of bolt failure upon installation.
www.dsiunderground.com
Section1-Page8 May 2013
Resin Anchors - Using a resin cartridge to assist
popularity. If used with an expansion shell, the
shell must have provisions for the passage of
resin around the shell wedge. This ensures proper
encapsulation of the expansion shell without
causing any damage to the assembly.
Expansion Shell Plastic Sleeve - The plastic
sleeve holding the leaves together on an expansion
shell should be removed prior to installation. If left
on it could result in poor anchorage.
Set Up of Expansion Shell - Immediately prior
to installation the expansion shell should be set
pushed up the hole by hand, set and anchored.
If not expanded enough there will be difficulties in
anchoring. If expanded too much the end of the
bolt can break the bail or leaf attachment prior to
the leaves being set.

DSI - Mining’s T-Dome - forged head rock bolts
have a special concave head design which when
used in conjunction with T-Dome plates, work
like a ball-and-socket and correct for angularity
without requiring extra washers.
Rock Bolt Dollies - Rock bolt installation dollies
should only transfer rotational energy to the rock
bolt during installation, not percussive energy,
when stopers and jacklegs are used. The shank
end of the dollie must be short enough to avoid
contact with the drill piston. Typically, these rock
bolt dollies have a 7/8" hex shank and are only 31/4"
long. In addition to being the proper size for the
rock bolt head or nut, the dolly must also have
sufficient socket depth to allow nuts to be run onto
the ends of TBE bolts.
Proper Torquing of Bolts - Typically, 3.5 tons of
installed tension is required for a rock bolt to set
the anchor and tension the bolt to 50% of the
yield strength. An approximately linear relationship
exists between the applied torque and the tension
in a forged head rock bolt.

As TBE bolts turn at both ends during torquing, they generally apply more tension for the same
amount of applied torque due to the reduced resistance to friction. However, as a generality:
All mechanical rock bolts should be torqued to a minimum of 150 ft-lbs (per ASTM F432).

Overtorquing - Overtorquing of the bolts must the placement and spacing of bolts. Torque
be avoided. With forged head bolts, the heads
can be weakened or sheared off. Overtorquing plate of the bolt which will permit monitoring of
may tension the bolt past it’s yield point which is
undesirable.
Undertorquing - Undertorquing can result in poor
anchorage. Under tensioned bolts are particularly
susceptible to blasting damage. Bolts will not
apply sufficient compressive force to the ground
as per design requirements.
Monitoring - In practice, rock bolt tension often
drops after installation. Expansion shells can slip
due to blasting vibrations, shells can move as
high stress concentrations along the leaves cause
localized failure of the ground, and finally, the rock
can fail under the plate washer.
The installation of any ground support system
must be monitored to ensure proper procedures
and installation quality are maintained. For
rock bolts this requires verifying torque and
www.dsiunderground.com
Section1-Page10 May 2013
measurements can be recorded on the wall or
the load on the bolt during the mining cycle. If
necessary, bolts can also be re-torqued if loss in
tension occurs. Torque testing is best done by a
crew supervisor (or dedicated technician) while
visiting work areas during his rounds.
Education - Proper education of mining personnel
and supervisors is mandatory. As manpower
turnover is relatively frequent in bolting crews,
education must be continuous. Forget this and
you waste money.
Packaging - Vendors must package bolting
products in an acceptable manner both for con-
venience of use as well as prevention of damage
to the product during shipping and handling.
Particular care must be paid to wrapping of the
thread ends to prevent damage and corrosion.
Good packaging costs more but is worth the
added cost by reducing wastage on site.

 Installation Quality Guidelines continued
Matching Bolt and Shell Threads - While North
American mines typically use UNC thread specs,
other countries can use different thread types.
Care must be taken not to mismatch shells and
bolts from various manufacturers. A minimum
UNC class 1A thread spec should be met on
all threads as per ASTM F432 guidelines. DSI - than 0.25 deflection when the load on the plate is
Mining exceeds ASTM specs and rolls threads to
a class 2A specification.
Support Nuts - While they are sometimes used
on TBE bolts, the practice of installing a nut below
the anchor shell should be avoided on forged head
bolts. If the support nut comes in contact with relationship. Minimum grade should be Type 2
the shell, friction between these two surfaces will
prevent the bolt from elongating properly and will
give false torque readings as the bolt is tensioned.
Headed bolts should be free to elongate into the
hole through the expansion shell.
TBE Bolt Nuts - Do not run the nut on a TBE bolt
to the end of the threads and onto the shank.
Strength can be reduced by as much as 50%.
Each revolution of the nut onto the shank reduces
the thread engagement length.
Notching of TBE bolt threads - Notching threads
on TBE bolts is a poor installation practice and
must be avoided. This practice locks the nut onto
the bolt which then makes the TBE bolt act as a
forged head bolt. Deep gouging can reduce the
bolts strength.

Proper Grade Plates - Thin or weak plates will
deform at low bolt tension. High torques will
produce lower tension values. The bolt could also
rip through the plate during installation or by bolt
loading. Plate should meet ASTM F432 specs. The
minimum spec is a grade 2 plate which has less
increased from 6,000 to 20,000 lbs.
Hardened Steel Washers - Hardened steel
washers should be used between the forged
head or nut and the plate washer. The washer
reduces friction and enhances the torque-tension
(ASTM F432 spec) and hole size in plate washer
should be no more than 3/8" diameter larger than
bolt size. A spherical seat washer can also be
used to reduce friction.
Wooden Washers - Although seldom used
nowadays, wooden washers help prevent the
plate from cutting into mine screen (mesh) when
present. The wood may cause tension bleed off
however. Care must be used to watch for rotting
of the wood.
Perpendicular Installation - Bolts should be
installed as near perpendicular to the rock surface
as possible. Bolts not perpendicular to the plate
and rock surface will be marginally weaker and
will not be pretensioned properly. The following
example using a 5/8 " forged head rock bolt
installed with 180 ft-lbs torque illustrates the
scope of the problem.
