Abstract

A rock anchoring arrangement for use in tunnel and mine constructions comprises an elongated anchoring rod insertable in a bore formed in a rock formation, and a supporting plate arranged in contact with the rock formation at the open end of the bore. The anchoring rod includes a leading end portion fixable at the bottom of the bore, a trailing end portion fixable at the open end of the bore, and a smooth intermediate portion of a cross-sectional area smaller than those of the trailing end portion and the leading end portion. The anchoring rod is fixable by an adhesive within the bore at the leading end portion and at the trailing end portion whereas the intermediate portion is surrounded by an adhesive-repellent material to prevent the sticking thereof to the adhesive.
