Conclusion:
We recommend using Al2024 aluminium alloy, which has been solution heat
treated then cold worked and finally aged at room temperature, to meet the
performance requirements of Swellex-dowel rock bolts.
This material satisfies the design requirements of Swellex-dowel bolts well
without costing too much in comparison with the other two materials discussed.
In addition it has a relatively low weight while having good corrosion resistance,
tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. Despite the Titanium alloy meeting all
of the requirements better than the other materials its lower availability and cost
of up to 10 times as much was a strong limiting factor in its use on a large
industrial scale.
