Calculation Bond Strength

As per IS 11309:1985 Indian Standard Method for conducting Anchor Bars and
Rock Bolts clause 5.2. The bond Strength is worked out by the following formula in case
bolt is below up to failure between grout and rock.
Determination of Bond Strength between Grout & Rock ( )

kgf/cm2

----- (equation 1)

Where,
W= Load taken by bar in Tonnes
R= Radius of grouted hole in cm &
L= Length of embedded bar in cm
With reference to Clause 6.0 Bond Strength between Steel & Grout ( )
Clause 6.1 If failure is between bar & grout equation-1 will be used to determine
bond strength considering R equal to radius of bar.
