<p>The pull- out strength of the reinforcement has a significant role on the function of the most reinforced soil structures. Since the coarse grain soils have a better interaction with the reinforcement, they are mostly used in these structures. In most situations, ...

<p>This paper deals with fully grouted rockbolts, both for mining and civil engineering applications. Their mechanical behavior under tensile loads is reviewed theoretically and experimentally. As for the theoretical part, a new solution able to predict the ...

<p>A research programme has been carried out by RMT in support of the revision of Part 2 of the British Standard for strata reinforcement support system components used in coal mines, specification for birdcaged cablebolting. The present standard is written ...

<p>A unique 45-ton-capacity, pull-out testing system was developed in METU Mining Engineering department. This system is capable of testing different types of rock bolts and cable bolts. In-situ pull-out tests were carried out in Yeni&ccedil;eltek Coal Mine ...
