Application Status and Trends of Bolting-Shotcreting-Mesh Supporting Technology in Underground Engineering and Its Application in Ivory Coast

Many gold mines deposits have been discovered recently in Ivory Coast. The current government tries all the possible ways to develop the mining sector. However, the artisanal gold mine leads the operation in all the major parts of the country. The bolting-shotcreting-mesh supporting technology, which serves as an anchorage technology, has mainly been a part of traditional civil engineering. In case we refer to the historical development of the bolting-shotcreting-mesh supporting technology in geotechnical engineering, some of its application status aspects include standard construction, design, anchoring material and construction technology. For this reason, this paper focuses on the problems of the anchorage technology and how the development trend of the anchorage technology can be useful in Ivory Coast gold’s mining industry.
