Abstract
The results of a recent investigation into roadway roof support behaviour using a Geophysical Strata Rating (GSR) based support design method are presented. This paper outlines details of a study of roof support behaviour at two instrumented sites at Grasstree Mine. The impact of differing support elements were investigated and tested against developments in roof beam analysis in order to optimise the support process.
