In the demanding field of geotechnical engineering, projects often grapple with unstable rock masses, slope failures, and the need for long-term structural integrity in harsh environments. These challenges are exacerbated by factors such as corrosion, heavy loads, and difficult access sites. SupAnchor, a leader in anchoring solutions, has introduced the GFRP Solid Bolt, a innovative product that significantly improves the performance of self drilling anchor systems. This bolt is designed to provide reliable support in critical applications like tunneling, mining, and slope stabilization, addressing the limitations of traditional steel bolts with its advanced material properties.
The SupAnchor GFRP Solid Bolt is engineered with key parameters that ensure optimal performance in various geotechnical reinforcement systems. Below is a summary of its technical data for different models, highlighting features such as high tensile load and lightweight design.
| Model | Outside Diameter (mm) | Cross-sectional Area (mm²) | Guaranteed Tensile Load (kN) | Weight (kg/m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S20/200 | 20 | 200 | 200 | 0.52 |
| S22/240 | 22 | 240 | 240 | 0.62 |
| S25/320 | 25 | 320 | 320 | 0.83 |
| S28/400 | 28 | 400 | 400 | 1.04 |
| S32/500 | 32 | 500 | 500 | 1.30 |
These specifications demonstrate the bolt's capability to handle significant loads, with tensile strengths up to 500 kN, making it a robust component in drill-and-grout bolt applications. The solid structure, unlike hollow bar anchors, eliminates internal weaknesses, ensuring consistent performance. Key advantages include:
The waved thread structure improves bonding with grouting materials, ensuring secure anchoring in various geological conditions. This makes the GFRP Solid Bolt a versatile choice for engineers seeking durable alternatives to traditional methods.
The GFRP Solid Bolt is deployed in numerous geotechnical projects worldwide, including slope stabilization for highway embankments, roof and wall support in underground tunnels, and reinforcement of mine roadways. For instance, in slope stabilization, the bolt's high tensile load prevents soil erosion and landslides, while in tunneling, it provides permanent support against collapses. Its corrosion resistance makes it suitable for coastal or industrial sites where steel bolts would degrade quickly. These applications highlight its role in enhancing the safety and longevity of infrastructure, often integrated with self drilling anchor systems for rapid deployment.
The introduction of this bolt addresses critical needs in global infrastructure development, particularly as urbanization and mining activities expand. It contributes to safer tunneling operations, reduces environmental risks in slope management, and supports sustainable practices by minimizing material waste. The product's adaptability to various ground conditions makes it valuable for projects in Europe and North America, where strict safety standards govern geotechnical work. By improving the reliability of anchor systems, SupAnchor helps mitigate accidents and costs associated with structural failures, underscoring the importance of innovative solutions in the industry.
