HAGEN, S.A.; LARSEN, T.; BERGHORST, A. y KNOX, G.. Full-scale rockbolt testing in the laboratory: Analysis of recent results. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2020, vol.120, n.1, pp.1-6. ISSN 2411-9717. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2411-9717/839/2020.
Rockbolting is a method used for rock reinforcement in underground mining and tunnelling. There is a large variety of different types of rockbolts with different support functions. The behaviour of a rockbolt in a rock mass depends on the function and material of the bolt itself, combined with the mechanical properties of the rock mass, deformation capacity, strength, and level of stress. Testing of rockbolts in full-scale laboratory-controlled conditions is therefore of great importance. At the rock mechanics laboratory of SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, a rockbolt test rig has been developed for full-scale testing for pull, shear, and combination pull-shear tests. In this paper we describe the principles behind this quasi-static full-scale testing and include the results and analyses of recent tests on different types of rockbolt. The applicability of the test rig for rockbolt selection and rock support design is also discussed.
