ARBS (Analysis of Roof Bolt Systems) is software to aid in the selection of roof bolts for primary support in underground coal mines.
Selecting the proper roof bolt system from the immense variety of available bolt types and patterns can be confusing. ARBS simplifies the process by collecting input on the most important factors that determine the roof bolt performance, including roof quality, depth of cover, and intersection span. Using this information, ARBS suggests preliminary design values for:
- Bolt length
- Bolt capacity
- Bolt pattern.
In addition to helping select primary support patterns, ARBS can also indicate where supplemental support may be needed.
