For several decades now, cable bolting systems have been used for ground stabilisation and reinforcement in mines. There are around 19 types of cable bolts used in Australian mines, classified into main five categories. These are; (a) smooth or plain surface cable bolt; b) Bulbed; c) Nut caged; d) Spiral and indented cable bolts; e) a mix of plain and spiral cable bolts. Figure 1 above shows a selection of cable bolt types used in Australian underground coal mines.

Most cable bolts used in Australian mines are of seven or 19 wire construction. The seven wire cables has six outer wires wrapped around the central core wire, which is known as centre or king wire. However, the 19 wire cable  has two layers of wires consisting of nine 5 mm diameter outer wires; nine 3 mm inner layer wires, all wrapped or laid around 7 mm inner or king wire. The lay of the cable can be determined by the direction in which the outer strands of the cable are wrapped or laid around the centre king wire. The king-wire can be slightly larger in diameter to ensure the outer wires contact each other.

For a cable bolt support system to be effective, the loads have to be successfully transferred from the rock to the cable through the grouting materials.  These axial forces can be applied via the bearing plate, or as a result of horizontal movement of the rock mass at shear planes and bed separations. Thus the anchorage applied at the top of the hole, can be enhanced by buttons, opening the strand- called birdcages or bulbs.

Cable bolts are normally evaluated for strength and load transfer properties. The strength of cable can be carried out by tensile failure tests, while the load transfer strength is evaluated by pull and shear strength tests as well as cable stiffness.
