  • the feature of the slit 20 is a non-limiting example.
  • the sleeve 12 has a slightly tapered leading portion 22 which tapers toward the leading end 14 to enable the sleeve to be driven into the rock hole having a smaller diameter than the body 12.

  • a load indicating washer 52 is interposed between the nut and the barrel to indicate when load on the barrel has reached a predetermined level.
  • the barrel 48 has a domed end 54, a trailing end and a central bore 58 which extends between the ends. It is through the bore that the rod 24 passes in engagement of the barrel to the rod.
  • a plurality of grout conduits 60 are formed to communicate an exterior of the barrel with the bore 46.
  • a domed faceplate (not illustrated) can be mounted on the rod 24 to seat on the spherical seat provided by the domed end 54 of the barrel 48.
  • the assembly 10 includes a grout tube 62 which encloses a length of the rod 24 and which extends between a forward end 64 and a back end 66.
  • a forward end portion 68 of the grout tube is positioned within the sleeve so that the forward end opens into the cavity 18 of the sleeve 12 (this deep insertion of the made possible by the position of a stop formation 72).
  • the back end is fitted within bore 58 of the barrel 48, abutting a seat 70 in the bore, positioned to receive a grout input from the grout conduits 60.
  • the stop formation 72 Holding the sleeve 12 in position on the rod 24 is the stop formation 72 which is positioned high-up within the sleeve.
  • the stop formation is a castle nut (also designated 72), which is threaded on the second threaded section 34 of the rod.
  • the castle nut 72 has a cylindrical internally threaded body 74 and a single or a pair of diametrically opposed prongs 76 which extend from the body in an axial direction. Each prong is received in a respective slot 45, between the inserts 40, with the body of the nut abutting the abutment surface 44 of each insert. In this position, the nut holds an initial positioning of the sleeve 12 relatively to the rod 24, with the expansion element 36 partially received in the sleeve at the leading end, with its engagement surface 38 engaging the abutment surfaces 44 of the inserts.
  • the assembly 10 is installed by insertion in a rock hole (not shown) which is predrilled into a rock face (not shown) on which adjacent rock strata requires stabilisation.
  • the rock hole will be of a diameter that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the sleeve 12.
  • the assembly 10 is inserted by application of a force, by a drill rig, to the second end 28 of the rod 24 and the nut 50 in a percussive or hammering manner.
  • This force by direct action, will drive the rod incrementally into the hole.
  • the sleeve 12 will“follow” by being pulled along by reaction of the body 74 of the nut 72 abutting the abutment surface 44 of each insert 40.
  • the sleeve elongates slightly, due to the tensile forces acting on the sleeve as it is pulled into the hole, decreasing in diameter and complementing the compressive deformation of the sleeve, about the slit 20.
  • the sleeve is eased into the hole with less force than would be ordinarily required.
  • the risk of the rod buckling under load is reduced due to a reduction in the length of the rod between a leading end and the point at which an insertion force is applied to the rod i.e. at the castle nut 72 position.
  • the rod 24 can now be pretensioned between the expansion element and the faceplate. This is achieved by tightening the nut 50, forcing the interposed barrel 48 against the facepate in progressive load supportive contact with the rock face. Reactively, the rod is drawn outwardly with further torque applied to the nut, pulling the expansion element 36 into the sleeve and wedging apart the inserts 40. This radial outward deformation of the sleeve anchors the assembly at this point within the rock hole.
  • the propensity is for the rod to rotate in unison.
  • the castle nut 74 is affixed to the threaded rod, either through deformation of the thread or by swaging the castle nut onto the rod.
  • the rod is thereby prevented from rotating.
  • the prongs will move from the slots, as the rod is drawn outwardly, however this occurrence will coincide with full engagement of the expansion element 36 with the wedge inserts 40.
