Significance and Use5.1 Rock bolts are used for support in a variety of miningand civil engineering situations.3The pull test may be used toprovide a quantitative measure of the re

17、lative performance ofdifferent anchor systems in the same rock type.Anchor systemsmay be different mechanical anchors or different bond materi-als or lengths for grouted anchors. Such data can be used tochoose an anchor type and determine bolt length, spacing, andsize.5.2 The objective of the method

18、 is to measure anchorperformance, and not the performance of the rock bolt itself.Thus, to make sure the bolt response during the test is minimaland predictable, high strength, short-length (6 to 8 ft (1.8 to 2.5m) bolts have been specified. The bolt should be just longenough to make sure that failu

19、re occurs in the anchor systemand not from the reaction pad bearing down on the rock mass.5.3 Ideally, the rock bolt anchor should fail by shear at theanchor-rock interface or bond. Therefore, the local character-istics of the rock, such as roughness and induced fractures, aresignificant factors in

20、the anchor strength. To obtain realisticstrength values, the test holes should be drilled using the samemethods as the construction rock bolt holes.5.4 Rocks with significant time-dependent behavior, such asrock salt or shale, may respond to the anchor system itself andchange the anchor strength. In

21、 these cases, considerationshould be given to testing bolts over a period of time.5.5 In establishing a testing program, the following factorsshould be considered:5.5.1 Anchor pull tests should be conducted in all rock typesin which construction bolts will be installed. If the rock isanisotropic, fo

22、r example, bedded or schistose, the tests shouldbe conducted in various orientations relative to the anisotropy,including those at which the construction bolt may be installed.5.5.2 In each rock type, at each orientation, and for eachanchor system, a sufficient number of tests should be con-ducted t

23、o determine the average bolt capacities within a fixeduncertainty at the 95 % confidence level. The allowable uncer-tainty band depends on the project and involves such factors asthe rock quality, expected project lifetime, and importance ofthe areas to be bolted. Its determination will require cons

24、ider-able engineering judgment. As a rough guideline, at least 10 to12 pull tests for a single set of variables have been foundnecessary to satisfy the statistical requirements.NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and

25、 thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet thecriteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing. Users of this test method are cautioned thatcompliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assure reliable results.Reliable re

26、sults depend on many factors; Practice D3740 provides a meansof evaluating some of those factors.6. Apparatus6.1 Loading SystemThe system for pulling the rock boltsshall consist of a hollow-center hydraulic ram and mounting/reaction frame. The hydraulic ram shall be of sufficientcapacity to fail the

27、 anchor and shall have a travel range of atleast 2 in. (50 mm). The mounting/reaction frame shall beusable against uneven rock surfaces. The loading system shallapply a force that deviates by no more than 5 from the longaxis of the bolt during the test.6.2 Load TransducerAn electronic load cell is r

28、ecom-mended to measure the load on the rock bolt. The cell shallhave an accuracy of at least 6200 lbf (6890 N), includingerrors introduced by the excitation and readout system, and aresolution of at least 100 lbf (445 N). Other types of loadtransducers may be used if their performance meets thesespe

29、cifications. Alternatively, a pressure gauge or electronictransducer may be used to measure the pressure applied to theram, provided the load measurement requirements above aresatisfied, including the effects of friction in the hydraulic ram,and the like.6.3 Displacement TransducerA dial gauge is re

30、com-mended to measure the displacement of the rock bolt head. Itshall have an accuracy of at least 60.001 in. (0.025 mm), aresolution of at least 0.0005 in. (0.013 mm), and a range of atleast 2 in. (50 mm). It shall be mounted along the axis of therock bolt within 5. The end of the rock bolt, or pul

31、ling rod ifused, shall be smooth with a counter-sink area approximately14 in. (6 mm) in diameter to accommodate the measuring tip ofthe dial gauge. Other types of displacement transducers may beused provided they satisfy the requirements of this section.6.4 Displacement Transducer Support The displa

32、cementtransducer shall be supported from a point no closer than 3 ft(0.9 m) to the reaction frame, if attached to the same rock face.The support shall be sufficiently rigid such that no deflection orinstability occurs during testing.6.5 Anchor SystemsThe anchors used for testing shall befrom the man

33、ufacturers standard production stock. Mechani-cal anchors shall be inspected to make sure that no defectiveanchors are tested. Mechanical anchors should be of correctsize for the hole diameter and the anchorage size should beknown. Grout or resin shall be fresh (within the shelf life) andobtained fr

34、om unopened containers. If grouted anchors are tobe tested, make sure resin cartridge sizes are compatible withhole diameter, rock bolt bar diameter and length of anchoragerequired. For anchorages utilizing injected grout, make suremixing and injection equipment and systems are compatiblewith manufa

35、cturers recommendations.6.6 Rock Bolt and AccessoriesThe rock bolt shall be ofsufficient diameter and strength that its elastic range is notexceeded during testing. Standard bearing plates, washers, andthe like may be used as required.6.7 Drilling EquipmentThe same type of drilling equip-ment and dr

36、ill bits that will be used for installing rock boltsduring the construction phase of the project shall be used asmuch as practical to drill the test holes.3For additional information see, “Suggested Method for Determining theStrength of a Rock Bolt Anchor (Pull Test),”Suggested Methods for Rock Bolt

37、Testing, International Society for Rock Mechanics Commission on Standardizationof Laboratory and Field Tests, 1974.D4435 13126.8 Torque WrenchIf expandable shell mechanical an-chors are used, a torque wrench shall be used to set them. Thewrench shall have a capacity at least 20 % greater than theman

38、ufacturers recommended anchor-setting torque. Thetorque wrench shall have an accuracy of at least 62 % of thefull-scale reading, and a resolution of at least 1 % of thefull-scale reading.6.9 Borehole Diameter Measuring Gauge A gauge shallbe used to measure the diameter of the borehole at the anchorl

39、ocation. It shall have an accuracy of at least 60.02 in. (0.5mm) and resolution of at least 0.01 in. (0.25 mm)6.10 ThermometerA thermometer shall be used to mea-sure temperature in the borehole, within the anchor zone ifresin or cement grout anchorages are being tested. The tem-perature of the resin

40、 or grout shall also be measured at the timeof injection. The thermometer should have an accuracy of atleast 60.5F (60.1C) and a resolution of at least 1F (0.5C).See Note 2.6.11 Fig. 1 shows a typical test setup.NOTE 2The accuracy and resolution for the thermometer are pre-sented in both Fahrenheit

41、and Celsius units such that either type ofthermometer can be used as long as the accuracy and resolution require-ments as stated are met. The Celsius values are not direct conversionsfrom Fahrenheit.7. Procedure7.1 Drilling the Test Hole:7.1.1 Drill the test hole using the same procedure that willbe

42、 used during construction. Wash or blow the borehole cleanof all cuttings.7.1.2 The hole need not be as deep as the proposed length ofthe rock bolts. It shall, however, be deep enough to set theanchor past the zone of disturbance caused by the excavationand the zone of stress concentration caused by

43、 the reaction ofthe pulling frame. For mechanical shell anchors, drill the hole1 ft (0.3 m) past the end of the anchor. A hole approximately 6ft. (1.8 m) in length has generally been found to be adequate.7.1.3 Inspect the test hole visually using a flashlight ormirror to reflect sunlight down the ho

44、le. If more than one halfof the bottom of the hole cannot be seen, the hole is notsufficiently straight for a pull test and shall not be used.7.1.4 Measure and record to the nearest 0.01 in. (0.25 mm)the test hole diameter in two perpendicular directions at the topand bottom of the anchor location b

45、orehole using a diametermeasuring gauge for a total of four measurements.7.2 Preparation of AnchorsIf any anchor preparations,such as degreasing or rust removal, will be done duringconstruction, prepare the test anchors in the same way. If nospecial preparation will be done during construction, do n

46、otprepare the test anchors.7.3 Setting the Anchor:7.3.1 If mechanical anchors are used, lightly lubricate thedownhole end of the rock bolt and screw on the anchor. Whenin position, torque the bolt to the manufacturers recommendedlevel to set the anchor. A pair of jam-nuts on the upper end ofthe rod

47、may be used to apply torque without producing axialload in the bolt. If the manufacturers torque cannot beachieved because of anchor rotational slippage due to shearfailure in the rock, note the maximum torque reading andinstall subsequent anchors to 80 % of this value. Do not testanchors where rota

48、tion occurs between the rock surface and theanchor. In all cases, record any slipping or other anomalousbehavior as shown in Fig. 2.7.3.2 Install cement grout or resin anchors according to themanufacturers recommendations.FIG. 1 Typical Rock Bolt Pull Test SchematicD4435 13137.4 Testing:7.4.1 All te

49、sts are performed on untensioned bolts. Measureand record the temperature in the borehole within the anchorzone, the temperature of the resin or grout at the time ofinjection, and the ambient air temperature to the nearest 1F(0.5C). Ideally the test anchorages should be installed underthe same temperature conditions as expected during construc-tion. The time required for resin or grout anchorages to reachtheir design strengths is temperature dependent and may varysignificantly. Consult the resin or grout manufacturers litera-ture for reco
