Popis: Understanding the performance and failure mechanisms of surface support in mine roadways is paramount to the success of mine productivity. A sophisticated facility has been developed to evaluate the mechanical behavior of surface support under quasi-static loading. Three different types of mesh, welded wire mesh, chain-link mesh, and geogrid mesh are tested in conjunction with different surface components including rock bolt plate, steel strap and W-strap. It is found that the welded wire mesh has the higher stiffness and load-bearing capacity than the diamond mesh and the geogrid mesh. For each mesh, the incorporation of steel strap or W-strap helps the load to distribute more uniformly to more wires than just adopting bearing plate alone, leading to a substantial improvement in both the stiffness and the load-bearing capacity. The welded wire mesh can still withstand large deformation after peak load. In contrast, the diamond mesh and the geogrid mesh lose its capacity quickly after peak load.
