medium transferring the uplift load from the pile on to the anchor. Where large uplift loads<br />

are carried, the transfer of load is effected by welding a mild steel strip on to the interior surface<br />

of the pile <strong>and</strong> the exterior of the anchor tube to act as a shear key, as described in the<br />

following section. The drilling bit is left in place at the bottom of the tube where it acts as a<br />

compression fitting, but the drilling rods are disconnected at a special coupling.<br />

6.2.5 The uplift resistance of drilled-in rock anchors<br />

The resistance to pull-out of anchors drilled <strong>and</strong> grouted into rock depends on five factors,<br />

each of which must be separately evaluated. They are as follows:<br />

(1) The safe working stress on the steel forming the anchor<br />
