5000 Structural Monitoring

5200 D-Cable Bolt

The Model 5200 D-Cable Bolt is designed to monitor how the load develops along cable over time to assess the Factor of Safety against cable rupture. The cable is based on miniature inductive load meters. When the ends of the loadmeters are secured at specified locations it will measure how a certain length of the cable bolt is stretching in response to load. It is applicable to ground anchors, tendons, and tie-backs for both mining and civil projects.
