Rock bolt systems are widely used for the reinforcement of underground coal mines after excavation. These systems consist of steel bolts installed in drill holes and encapsulated by resin or grout. The spacing between the rock bolt ribs is one of the factors affecting the axial load transfer mechanisms. Steel rebar with a 16 mm diameter, Stratabinder HS grout, and steel pipes with a diameter of 50 mm were used to simulate the rock bolt system. The distance between the ribs on the rebar was doubled for half of the samples to investigate the effects of rib spacing on the pull out capacity of gro...
