GENERAL INFORMATION

2. For anchoring and form tying operations, proper installationpractices must be maintained. Guidelines for setting mechanicalanchors and tensioning procedures for rock bolts are detailedin this publication. Failure to follow approved practices, mayresult in failure.

3. The applied safety factor for a product will depend on thedegree of hazard or risk involved in the product application.This safety factor is governed by national codes, local codesand/or by design professionals. Onsite conditions such as poorinstallation practices or inproper use of equipment couldincrease the degree of risk. If such conditions exist, the usermust increase the safety factor to compensate. For most applications NCA suggests a minimum 2:1 safety factor forhanging accessories and stresses that this safety factor shouldbe strictly adhered to or the application be reviewed by adesign professional. The material included in this publicationprovides the ultimate capacities so other safety factors may beused where applicable.

WARNING : Improper, careless and/or haphazard use of the products shown in this document can expose workers toextreme danger, injury and death. If uncertain about installa-tions or use of any NCA product, contact the nearest NCA Salesoffice or Technical Department for explanations and/or recommendations.

TABLE CS3 HDR TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Hollow Deformed Rebar (HDR)

Originally developed by engineers working on the Snowy MountainHydro Electric project in Australia for permanent corrosion protectedrock anchors. Hollow core steel guarantees an uninterrupted passagefor grout from the surface to the distal end of the drill hole. May beused for supplying or returning grout as orientation dictates.

Portland cement based grouts provide a pH environment whichrenders the steel rod protected from the corrosive effects ofoxidation. The process of pumping fluid cement grout with a hollowcore rod will provide complete encapsulation of the steel in the drillhole as well as consolidating cracks and fissures of the rock strata.

Major benefits are obtained when producing long bolts or in poorground conditions with heavily fractured zones and water infiltrationproblems.

NCA High Strength ASTM-A615

NOTE: To activate AR MechanicalExpansion Anchors apply steadytorque (not impact) until anchorrod stops rotating or maximumallowable applied torque value isreached. Fully support hex nut, do not cause bending.

DO NOT exceed maximumallowable applied torque. Torsionalshear failure at root of threads mayoccur. Recommended minimum SafeWorking (Design) Load is 2 to 1against ultimate.

HDR ROD SERIES

Hollow Deformed Rebar (HDR)

HDR Inclined Upward Grouting

HDR Inclined Downward

Hollow Deformed Reinforcing Bars allow positive grouting to distalend of drill hole through difficult conditions such as fracture zonesand over long lengths.

This produces a permanent corrosion protected anchor.

APPLICATIONS

Vertical DownwardFor vertically downward orientations expansive cement grout ispumped to bottom of drill hole and fully encapsulates rebar whileconsolidation grouting of strata takes place.

Inclined HorizontalHorizontal applications inclined by 10º either up or down to facilitategrout pumping. Pump grout according to whether inclined up ordown in accordance with up or down grouting procedures.

Fluid grouts can be pumped in the annular space around bolt.Vertical Upward

Thixotropic GroutingThixotropic grouts can be pumped through the hollow core of thebolt and return through vent. Neat expansive cement grouts of a 0.3to 1 water/cement ratio can be pumped. Pumping is performed withthixotropic grout pump-mixers available from National ConcreteAccessories.

Grout will notflow without

appliedpressure

SealedSealed

HDR Downward Grouting HDR Upward Grouting HDR Upward

NOTE: HDR bolts are made from high strength steel alloy with a minimum elongation of 15% in a 2 inch gaugelength. Good engineering practice must be utilized so that the nut is fully supported by the base plate andbending is not induced at the root of the threads.

Thixotropic Grouting

Heavy plate thicknesses are recommended for HDR bolts (see table on page 27 for Bearing Plates).

Consult your local NCA Sales Representative or the NCA Technical Department for additional information.

Solid Deformed Rebar (SDR)

SDR RODSERIES

Made from reinforcing that meets CSA standard G30.18 M-92 andASTM 615.

An economical, medium strength rod used for tie downs, and rockreinforcement. Use AR Expansion cone shell anchor series for blindhole and prestressed rebar anchor applications. Use 2 tubes forcomplete grouting. One tube pumps grout to the back of theborehole and the other acts as a vent.

The grouting tube is affixed to the rod to a point just above theanchor and the vent tube just passes through the plate to the drilledhole.

Rebar Deformation Pattern

SDR: Solid Deformed Rebar.Specify thread length and rod lengths for couplings.

SDR with a 45° End CutFor use with Adhesive Anchoring Systems such as Polyester Resin or Cementitious Cartridges (see page 17)

NOTE: Blunt rebar is acceptable for use in very soft rocks where sidewall abrasion is a concern.

SOLID DEFORMED REBAR (SDR)APPLICATIONS

Two tubes are utilized whenpumping fluid cementitiousgrouts in vertically downward ornear horizontal orientations.

Pumping vertically upwards isbest achieved by using a hollowdeformed rebar. Thixotropicgrouts may be used by pumpingthrough a tube to the back ofthe drill hole.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

21

Consult your local NCA Sales Representative or the NCA Technical Department for additional information.

Bolt PositioningFor vertically downwards oriented bolts the completely assembledunits including the bearing plates should be lowered down the hole.The bolt must be centralized in the drilling hole during theinstallation procedure. Having the bearing plate with the hex nut andflat washer above the plate in place prior to lowering the unitdownhole precludes the bolt from falling too far down an overdrilled hole. Trying to pull vertically upwards on a mechanicalexpansion anchor already in a drill hole may begin to expand theshell against the drill hole wall and may not be possible.

Typically, the desired condition of drill hole diameter and anchor pre-set expansion will produce a snug but relatively easily inserted anchordown the length of the drill hole. In the event loose rock segmentstranslate into hole and block the passage of the anchor, the outerend of the bolt may be struck with a hammer if the threads areprotected with a nut or spin adaptor.

The ideal final elevation of the bolt should be when an equal lengthof thread exists both above and below the bearing plate. Under idealconditions when the full torque required to expand the shell of theanchor assembly has been delivered to the anchor, tensioning thebolt will cause the anchor rod to extend only by the elasticdeformation of the length of rod for a given axial tensile load.Practically, their may be further migration of the cone into the shelland some settling of the bearing plate as point load contactsbetween steel and rock crush to distribute final lock off loads. Theseeffects will accumulate and may slightly raise the final elevation ofthe rock bolt. This does not mean that the anchor has slipped againstthe sides of the drill hole wall. The bolt cannot maintain a knownprestress force unless the nut is capable of being in full contact with

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR AR CONE SHELL MECHANICAL EXPANSION ANCHORS

Hole PreparationMechanical expansion anchors require a hole drilled into the rock orconcrete with attention paid to the length, diameter andstraightness. Rotary percussion or diamond drills both provideacceptable drill hole surfaces for use with the AR series of cone shellexpansion anchors. Particular attention must be paid to the diameter.Drill holes cannot be undersized. Drill hole diameter can be up to10% oversized. Hole straightness must be maintained to allowpassage of the mechanical anchor assembly as well as the overalllength of the anchor rod over the entire length of the bolt. This isaccomplished primarily with the attention of the driller todownpressure feed rate for a given rock type and the amount ofwear in the drill steel and bit. Hole length should be in excess of thebolt length by 6 to 12 bolt diameters. This allows for larger pieces ofrock dislodged during bolt insertion to be clear of the anchor at thefinal installation depth.

the bearing plate within the threaded length of the outer end of thebolt. To ensure full bearing between the underside of the hex nutand the bearing plate, a set of two beveled washers should be used*.By swivelling the beveled washers against each other the angle maychange from perpendicular to the axis of the bolt rod to 2X the angleof a single beveled washer.

When mechanical expansion anchors are used in heavily fracturedrock or in lengths greater than 5 or 6 meters, insertion into the holeis best achieved by providing an overdrilled diameter up to the last30 bolt diameters of hole length above the anchor. This allows foruninterrupted passage of the anchor to just above the requiredanchor depth.

Attention to all the previous details pertain to installing an anchorbolt vertically up for roof bolting with the exception of the possibilityof loosing a bolt downhole. The opposite is obviously true, andpersonnel or equipment must be able to push up on the bolt toachieve the desired destination.

SETTING MECHANICAL EXPANSION ANCHORSTorquingOnce the rock bolt has been installed to the desired elevation theanchor Cone Shell assembly is set by applying torsion to the outerend of the rod. This is done by means of a 2 piece spin adaptor whichthreads onto the end of the rock bolt protecting the threads fromdamage. The spin adapter is made from hex stock allowing it to bedriven with a socket and restrained with a wrench when removing itafter torquing the anchor. It is important not to allow the rod tocounter rotate during tool removal as this can allow the anchor toloosen and slip under tension. The anchor is set by driving on thebody of the spin adapter and released by lifting the socket tocontinue driving in a right hand direction on the top bolt. Thethreads are left hand and the tool releases. Maintain an anti-rotational force on the body of the spin adapter, with a wrench,when releasing the top bolt.

NCA bolts are threaded with right hand threads unless speciallyordered left hand threads. This means that the anchors are set byrotating clockwise. Torque is applied by means of either manual orpneumatic powered wrenches. The outer end hex nut must be in anelevated position relative to the bearing plate so the rod is free torotate while expanding the anchor.

The maximum torque values for each rod anchor assembly is listed inthe application tables. This value is the safe capacity of the rod intorsion at the root of the threads. Exceeding these values could causetorsional shear failure!

Applied torque-induced tension values are known to be highlyvariable. (Note: FJ Series Anchors are set by tensioning the rod).Torque measuring equipment accuracy values should also be verified.NCA recommends that the maximum torque be applied to a given

Page 18: acrow-richmond rock bolt & anchoring

rock bolt anchor installation until down hole rotation stops. This doesnot include the torsional spring of the rod. Rock bolts under 25 mm(1") in diameter may be installed with calibrated manual torquewrenches. For rock bolts 25 mm (1") and greater in diameter it isrecommended to use Pneumo-hydraulic torque wrenches, availablefor sale or for rent from National Concrete Accessories.

TENSIONING PROCEDURE FOR A PRETENSIONED ROCK BOLTStressing EquipmentThe principle advantage of using a mechanical anchorage downhole isthe ability to immediately tension the rod to a known value ofprestress. This causes a reaction on the underside of the bearing plateputting the concrete and\or rock mass into compression. This zone ofcompression extends to the level of the expansion anchor.

The most reliable and accurate method of doing this is by couplingonto the rod and applying tension by means of a center-holehydraulic jack. Access to the outer end hex nut of the rock bolt can bemaintained by using either a ratcheting extension ram adapter or bymeans of a jack stand.

ProcedureThe ram of the centre hole jack is positioned directly over the rockbolt rod exposed through the bearing plate. Since most often the boltend is not long enough to extend through the ram a coupling and anextension rod is required to give a threaded section above the topend of the ram. A bearing plate and beveled washers, or a sphericalseated washer is passed over the rod and a hex nut is then threadedonto the extension rod allowing the vertical extension of the ramunder pressure to tension the entire rockbolt rod to the elevation ofthe mechanical expansion anchor.

Pressure is applied by the hydraulic pump supplied. Manual pumpsmay be reliably used but for cost efficiency for “production”operations either an electric or pneumatic powered pump is available.

Load should be applied in 6 to 10 equal increments with a minute ortwo between each increment. Extensive time delays are not requiredwith cone shell as with cement grouted anchors which require micro-cracking to distribute the stress to the surrounding rock. Roddeflection measurements to verify mechanical anchor performanceare optional as the mechanical anchors are not as variable as pumping cementgrouts for a method of load transfer.

An often used value of design load for an anchor is 50% of theultimate tensile capacity of the assembly. Where the bolts arerequired to carry a significant load, it is generally recommended thata tension of approximately 70% of the capacity of the bolt beinstalled initially. This provides a known load with a reserve in case ofadditional load being induced by displacements in the rock mass. Testvalues of 80% and lock off-transfer loads of 70% of ultimate are alsotypical.

GROUTING PROCEDURE FOR ROCK BOLTS

In order for a rockbolt to be considered a permanent installation itmust be encased in a high quality cement grout. The principlefunction of the grout is to provide a pH environment which does notpermit the oxidation of carbon steels used in the fabrication of rockbolts while in their service condition.

MaterialsThe grout required for rock bolting must be fluid enough to bepumped distances from 1 to several meters through openings as smallas 8 mm. When the grout sets and cures it must be shrinkagecompensated so that it will not crack. NCA Expansive Cement Grout(ARECG) for rock bolting is recommended. The grout must be free ofunwetted particles that might block the passages. To ensure thegrout is free of lumps thorough mixing then passing the groutthrough a #8 sieve is recommended.

EquipmentThe National Concrete Accessories offers several types of groutpumps. A manually operated unit and two air powered units. The airpowered ARGTP grout pump provides continuous grout supply forvolumous production grouting for either many bolts with a largediameter or long bolts in rock strata which is being consolidationgrouted. The ARAPM has the same pump and offers the advantage ofmixing grouts in its 28 imperial gallon holding tank prior totransference.

Bolts should be grouted the same day they have been placed.Compressed air should be used to verify the open circuit along thelength of the bolt prior to grouting. Supply of the grout should bedone in accordance with the application drawing associated with therod series and orientation chosen. Grout tube adaptors that can bethreaded on to the Hollow Deformed Rebar (HDR) series areillustrated in the Tools, Equipment and Accessories section of thismanual.

Prevents wash out by flowing water

NCA Dispersion Stabilized Cement Grout is suitable for pumping intodrilled holes when subjected to water flow as the grout gelsimmediately when pumping ceases. It will become fluid whenpumping resumes. The thickening of the grout has the appearance ofgrout that has reached initial set.

Dispersion Stabilized Cement Grout is a blend of high strengthPortland Cement, water and high molecular-weight polymers. Thiscombination allows the grout to have the strength gain and thealkali protection of cement particles in a stable polymer matrix. Thismatrix functions as a protective coating for the unhydrated cementparticles, preventing water washout when the grout is in the plasticstate. Available in a sulphate resistant formulation — ARSCG-S.

ARSTR Stress Rod

ARSTR, ARJS and ARHRComplete Assembly

Hollow ram cylinders are used to prestress rock bolts. Calibratedhydraulic gauges gives true reading of axial tension applied to bolt.When used with NCA Mechanical Expansion Cone and Shell anchors,setting the anchor and stressing are done immediately with no timerequired for setting of bonded anchors. Bolts are then grouted forpermanent stress lockoff and corrosion protection.

Stressing assembly consists of pump, gauge, ram hoses and standardjack stand that matches ram capacity. Stress rod hex nut andcouplings required to stress bolts must be ordered as required.

The above table indicates acceptable ranges of rock quality for which an engineer should consider using mechanical anchors. Mechanical anchorsoffer immediate compression between rock and shell anchor and therefore, allow for immediate prestressing. Anchors should be fully grouted forpermanent applications. Cement grout protects against bolt corrosion and transfers load to the rock mass or concrete. Mechanical expansionanchors automatically center the bolt at the bottom of drilled hole.

The AR Cone Shell Expansion Anchors are designed to develop the fulltensile capacities of the Rod Series offered in this manual. Mechanicalanchors are activated immediately. This feature is of major benefit tothe installation of prestressed anchors. Saving the time associatedwith cement grout bonded zone anchorages.

The patented AR Cone Shell design has a “Ridge-Groove" system thatallows each size anchor to operate to the holding capacity of the highstrength rods in the widest possible variety of rock conditions.

The wide application range is possible due to the combination of alarge smooth surface contact area between the shell and drill holewall as a result of carefully chosen shell length and drill holediameters and the spacing and orientation of Ridge-Groove system.Loads are transferred to the rock by putting the rock in compressionon the smooth areas of the shell and the ridges are stress raisers toactivate the shear strength of the rock. The grooves that follow theridges allow rock points to be activated in shear without crushing andin the case of extremely hard rock, a place for the ridge metal totranslate as full compression between rock and shell is achieved byrotating the anchor rod.

The approximate 45° orientation of ridges allows for both anti-rotational effect of the shell in the hole when setting the anchor andthe vertical holding capacity of the anchor to be maximized.

AR Cones are offered with Channels through the shell which allowsfor passage of grout past the anchorage contact zone. The Cones aretapped through their entire length to accept the various rodsavailable from NCA. The 8UN thread series is used for all rods,couplings and anchors 25 mm (1") and greater in thread diameter.

Rock classification systems are numerous and include some subjectivecriteria. A relative scale of the acceptable range of use of AR —Mechanical Expansion Anchors is presented in Table CS1 on page 7.

Always use good engineering practice when designing and installing rockbolts.

FEATURES

Anchors are set from surface by rotation of rod.

A tapped cone expands shell against the drill hole wall as the anchor rod is rotated.

Versatile one-size anchor assembly for each drill hole diameter.

Smooth cylinder shell with 45 degree “Ridge-Groove” shell design.

BENEFITS

Outer threaded end of rod does not change in elevation when settinganchor. Minimal deflection when tensioning.

Immediate verification of anchor holding capacity without waiting forgrouts to cure.

Allows for simplicity of design of rock bolt.

Greatest shell to rock stress distribution of any mechanical expansionanchor on the market. Ridge-Groove orientation gives anchor an anti-rotation aspect as well as enhanced performance in the verticaldirection.

* Hole diameters of the cone-shell anchors shown permit the use of stop couplings with grouttubes in the SDR, SST, SCT-L and SCT-N series. Finished drilled hole diameters vary dependingon rock type, quality and method of drilling employed.

** Couplings cannot be used with the modified cone shell anchor AR4525-M due to the hole diameter.

NOTE: All thread products require a stud adaptor with anchor assembly.
