Abstract
A demand exists in the mining industry for an instrument capable of testing rock anchors
quickly, reliably and non-destructively. This report describes laboratory tests in which the
acoustic pulse interrogative techniques investigated for rock anchors up to 1,9m in length,
using concrete cylinders to simulate rock. [Abbreviation abstraction. Open document to view full version]
