“…The authors also reported that, in addition the types of crystal contacts, fragment forms and sizes significantly affect the engineering properties of granitic rocks. Ulusay et al (1994) revealed that the influence of textural characteristics appear to be more important than mineralogy for predicting engineering properties. It is also noted that type of contacts, grain shape and size, rock fragments with packing density and proximity are the petrographic characteristics which have significant influence upon engineering properties of the sandstones.…”

“…For roadway control, bolting, cabling, and steel sets supporting [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] are commonly used in situ. Based on bolting and cabling, a variety of new support approaches have been developed for complicated geological conditions, such as bolting with large deformation while keeping constant resistance [19,20], high prestress, high-strength support system [21], high-strength cable support system [22], grouted bolting system [23,24], etc.…”

Roadway support in swelling soft rocks in coal mines has become a critical challenge in recent years. For deformation control in swelling soft rocks, high strength sets are preferred in sites. But high strength always means high costs. Therefore, higher strength sets with not too much cost will be more welcomed in situ. Based on this, three new sets, including a floor beam set, a roof + floor beams set, and a roof + floor beams + braces set, have been developed in the present research. Strength comparisons and costs comparisons have been conducted in this research. Results illustrate that compared with the original set, in the floor beam set, the relative strength of bottom corners reaches 2.964, while the relative cost reaches 1.294; compared with the original set, in the roof + floor beams set, the relative strength of the top arch reaches 2.345, while the relative strength of bottom corners reaches 2.964, and the relative cost reaches 1.568; and compared with the original set, in the roof + floor beams + braces set, the relative strength of the top arch reaches 2.635, and the relative strength of bottom corners reaches 5.905, but the relative cost reaches 1.930. Floor beam set and roof + floor beams set illustrate higher strength and not too higher costs than the original set. Although the roof + floor beams + braces set exhibit much higher strength, they also demonstrate much higher costs than the original set. These new sets can be chosen according to different geological conditions in situ.

“…For safety and normal utilization, roadway should be supported to inhibit the extension of excavation damaged zone. For roadway supporting, varieties of support approaches, including steel sets support, bolting support, cable bolting, and some other composite support approaches [1][2][3][4][5][6] have been developed and applied in different geological conditions.…”

Abstract:There is high demand for roadway support in coal mines for the swelling soft rocks. As high strength steel sets can be taken as an effective alternative to control large deformation in this type of rocks, based on an original set, three new sets, including a floor beam set, a roof and floor beams set, and a roof and floor beams and braces set, are proposed in this research. In order to examine the strengths of new sets, four scaled sets of one original set, and three new sets, have been manufactured and tested in loading experiments. Results indicated that three new sets all exhibited higher strength than the original set. In experiments, the roof beam in set plays a significant effect on top arch strengthening, while the floor beam plays significant effect on bottom arch strengthening. The maximum bearing capacity and stiffness of the top arch with roof beam are increased to 1.63 times and 3.06 times of those in the original set, and the maximum bearing capacity and stiffness of the bottom arch with floor beam are increased to 1.44 times and 3.55 times of those in original set. Based on the roof and floor beams, two more braces in the bottom arch also play a significant effect in bottom corners strengthening, but extra braces play little role in top arch strengthening. These new sets provide more choices for roadway support in swelling soft rocks.
