The goal of this guideline is a compilation of selection criteria for bolt, which should be considered during design stage. These are complemented by properties of bolting systems and bonding agents, detailed descriptions of common bolting systems and installations procedures, criteria for the types of corrosion protection and quality management for bolts as well as testing of bolt properties. Tis information is intended to assist the designer as well as underground engineer to choose the technically most appropriate bolt type(s) for each expected ground condition and to set minimum requirements for chosen bolt types ensuring a high level of safety during construction.
