Abstract | This project aimed to advance the carbon-fibre rock bolt, Carbolt™, prototype by refining its manufacturing process and enabling the testing of a full-length roof bolt. The development required specialized tools, including a braiding machine and a custom mould for resin curing, to ensure uniform diameter and create features such as ribs and threads. A standard nut and bolt locking mechanism was integrated to maintain compatibility with existing roof bolting systems. |
