Experimental and analytical study on the mechanical behaviour of cable bolts subjected to axial loading and constant normal stiffness

This study aims to experimentally and analytically investigate the behaviour of two different cable bolts, including Sumo and TG using an advanced pull-out testing facility capable of testing the cable bolts under axial loading and constant normal stiffness. The quantitative contribution of a range of parameters (e.g. uniaxial compressive strengths of grout and confining medium and the borehole diameter) on the overall behaviour of Sumo and TG...
