Designing Intelligent Rock Support Systems to Detect Gravity-Driven Wedges

Publikation: Beitrag in FachzeitschriftArtikelForschungBegutachtung

Abstract

Intelligent rock bolts can be used in mining operations to acquire information on the bolt's status and movements of the rock mass. The future value of this technology resides in optimizing the support layout and increasing safety. The primary goal of this research is to investigate the sensor spatial distribution necessary for efficiently identifying roof wedges in mines. Roof wedges occur when three joints intersect over the roof, forming a triangular shape. They present a hazard by falling and causing damage. Sensor density refers to the number of sensors on a single rock bolt and the number of intelligent rock bolts in the mine or one section. Too many sensors drive costs up, and too few sensors compromise measurement quality. This research visualizes and investigates the results of the simulated models of intelligent rock bolts depending on the number of installed sensors and intelligent bolts to get a better understanding of the problem and describe the technique used, including numerical simulations and the considered parameters. Furthermore, it offers insight into the findings' possible implications, providing knowledge about the viability of using intelligent rock bolts.
