Abstract
A reinforcing and support system and method of installation thereof including both a mechanical expansion anchor on the distal end of an elongated bolt and a resin grouting mix installed in a blind drill hole in a mine roof, or the like. A pair of elongated leg members, fixed with respect to the shell, extend into the annular space surrounding the bolt below the shell for a distance about as great as the axial length of the shell. Upon advance of the bolt, carrying the expansion anchor and leg members, into the drill hole to break a cartridge containing the initially flowable components of the grouting material, the bolt is rotated to effect expansion of the anchor and tensioning of the bolt. Mixing of the components in the annular space surrounding the bolt below the anchor as the bolt is rotated is enhanced by hydraulic turbulence produced by flow of the components about the leg members. A support nut may be installed on the bolt below the anchor, and the leg members may be fixedly attached to one another near their terminal ends.
