✦ Synopsis
A new analytical approach able to predict the mechanical behaviour of fully grouted rockbolts subjected to pull-out tests is proposed in this paper. Input parameters of such approach are: bolt radius, bolt's Young modulus, displacement of the free end of the bolt and the constitutive law of the rockbolt-grout joint interface. The limited circumstances under which it is accurate to determine such constitutive law from pull-out tests are also presented. A solution for the load-displacement curve obtained during pullout tests has been developed and is detailed in the case of a tri-linear bond-slip model. Comparison with experimental results obtained via in situ pull-out tests has led to the validation of this approach.
