| Abstract: |
Rocks are materials strong in compression but weak in tension. Reinforcement is achieved through structural elements of reinforcement or prestressing, where the reinforcement provides tensile and shear strength, and the prestressing transforms tensile stresses into compressive ones. They are classified into three categories based on their interaction with the rock mass. For each category, the standard Greek specifications for their characteristics and installation are presented. The mechanical behavior of each type, the required prestressing force, their interaction with the surrounding rock mass, and the methods for their inspection are provided. Also included are front-face protection and reinforcement elements, such as forepoling beams and anchors. Commercially available rock bolts are described, along with the materials (steel or other) used in their fabrication. Their mechanical properties and contribution to support are detailed. Finally, cost estimation data are presented for the elements as installed in the project. Consolidation of the material is achieved through worked examples and exercises for practice.
