Abstract:
A rock anchor assembly includes a rock anchor with a flexible element and first/second cylindrical connector elements engaged to proximal and distal ends of the element, a flexible tubular sleeve longitudinally extending between first and second ends, on the rock anchor so end parts of the rock anchor project from sleeve ends; a load bearing barrel centrally bored engaging the first connector element between the first end of the sleeve and a proximal end of the rock anchor, the barrel engaging the first end of the sleeve in sealing contact, the barrel having a grout conduit between the barrel exterior and the bore, the conduit defining part of a grout passage interconnecting the barrel exterior and sleeve interior, when the barrel engages the sleeve; a seal preventing grout outflow but accommodating grout inflow; a tensioner engaging the first tubular connector element, and a mechanical anchor engaging the second tubular connector.

Claim (Index 1):
A rock anchor assembly which includes a rock anchor comprising a flexible element and a first and a second cylindrical connector element engaged to a proximal end portion and a distal end portion respectively of the element; a tubular sleeve, made at least of a flexible material that longitudinally extends between a first end and a second end, on the rock anchor such that end parts of the rock anchor project from the first and second ends respectively of the sleeves; a load bearing barrel which is centrally bored to engage the first connector element between the first end of the sleeve and a proximal end of the rock anchor, which barrel is adapted to engage with the first end of the sleeve in sealing contact, and which barrel has at least one grout conduit between an exterior surface of the barrel and the bore, which at least one conduit defines a part of a grout passage which communicates the exterior surface of the barrel with an interior of the sleeve, when the barrel is sealingly engaged with the sleeve; a seal which seals the grout passage to grout outflow but accommodates inflow of grout from a source; a tensioning means engaged with the first tubular connector element between the proximal end of the rock anchor and the barrel; and a mechanical anchor engaged with the second tubular connector.
