This research is focused on establishing the load capacity of the rockbolts commonly used in Peru based on their length.

Both, Hydrabolt and Swellex rockbolts, supplied by New Concept Mining and Atlas Copco, were piped around to allow the anchorage of the established lengths only. Fifty one tests were carried (11 Split Set, 17 Threaded Rebars, 12 Hydrabolts and 11 Swe...
