Split Set is a frictional rock bolt which is a slotted high-strength steel tube with a face plate. It is installed by driving it into a slightly undersized hole. Frictional anchorage, along the entire lenght of the bolt, is provided by the radial spring force generated by compression of the tube. Splits Sets are used for a wide variety of mining applications throughout many mines worldwide. 

The installation of Split Set bolt is a fairly straight-forward procedure and can be performed easily by trained personnel. The bolt should not be overdriven but placed tightly against the rock so that a slight deformation in the plate is visible.
