| Abstract |
The purpose of this report is to provide a useful reference for mining engineers who wish to obtain information on the more innovative support systems that have become available in Europe in recent years. It therefore does not include details of arch type supports and focuses rather on rock reinforcement systems and their related accessories. Where possible, it provides information on the history of application, results of testing and appropriate applications for the various support systems. In most cases, it includes photographs of the systems to help in identification and understanding their construction, and information on how the system's performance can be properly monitored. |
