NON-DESTRUCTIVE FIELD TEST OF CEMENT-GROUTED BOLTS WITH THE BOLTOMETER

The boltometer is an electronic instrument for non- destructive in situ testing and control of the quality of grouted rock bolts. On the basis of tests with prototype instruments on rock bolts with varying properties, a classification sytem for cement-grouted bolts has been proposed. Reports are given on tests made on 271 cement- grouted bolts and 21 resin-grouted bolts in order to verify the validity of the classification system. The tests on production bolts showed a fairly high percentage of low- quality rock bolts. Some of these bolts have been overcored or tested by hydraulic jacks. The boltometer opens up new vistas in the field of tunnel support by bolting. The number of the covering abstract of the congress is TRIS no. 385148. (TRRL)
