Résumé

Fully grouted rockbolts are used to anchor protection structures against natural gravitational hazards. In recent years, contractors have observed a premature degradation of the steel bars of these rockbolts. In the dimensioning of a rockbolt, the choice of the steel bar is currently made only on its pure tensile strength. The objective of this study is to identify whether the degradations observed in situ are related to the metallurgical nature of the bar steel and/or the load conditions. 16 damaged rockbolts were taken from four different sites in the Alpine area. They were subjected to a metallurgical analysis and a supplementary analysis of their environment. In conclusion, it was underlined that the damages were due to a lack of knowledge of the effective loads transmitted by the snow-filled structures, but also to a lack of consideration of the deformation behaviour of the foundation. The loads applied to these rockbolt bars generated a bending depending on the nature of the surrounding ground. It has been shown that these loads can occur in successive jolts and with modification of their orientation in relation to the number of links between the rockbolt and the protection structure.
