Rock bolt (1) comprising at least an elongated body (4), one end of which comprises at least a first external conical portion (16) extending through at least one hole (12) in at least a cylindrical expandable body (5), the hole (12) over a section of the bore hole in the axial direction comprises an internally conical part (15) intended to cooperate with the elongate member outer conical portion (16). Upon relative movement of the elongate body (4) and the expandable body (5) in one direction expands the expandable body in the radial direction. The relative axial movement between the elongated body (4) and the expandable body (5) is provided by at least one tensioning device (7). The rock bolt comprises at least one wedge device (2), which in use of the rock bolt, is connected to the expandable body (5) hole (12) and at least partially inserted between a first portion (17) and at least a second part (18). The rock bolt further comprises at least one connecting means (21).

A tension indication device for a rock bolt includes a support washer, a cover member having a central hole for receiving a trailing portion of the rock bolt, and an indicator substance provided in a first space in the cover member or in a recess in the support washer for facing the nut. Upon rotation of the nut, indicator substance is forced out of the first space such that the indicator substance is visible at inspection of the rock bolt, thereby indicating that the rock bolt has been tensioned.

A constant-resistance and large deformation anchor cable and a constant-resistance device are provided. The constant-resistance and large deformation anchor cable comprises cables (7), an anchoring device (13), a loading plate (12) and clipping sheets (4). The upper end of cables (7) is fixed on the anchoring device (13) and the loading plate (12) by clipping sheets (4). The constant-resistance and large deformation anchor cable also comprises a constant-resistance device, and the constant-resistance device comprises a sleeve (8) and a constant-resistance body (5). The sleeve (8) is a straight tube. The constant-resistance body is conical, and the diameter of the lower end of the constant-resistance body is bigger than the diameter of the upper end of the constant-resistance body. The inner diameter of the sleeve (8) is smaller than the diameter of the lower end of the constant-resistance body. A cuneiform part is arranged on inner wall of the lower end of the sleeve (8), and the constant-resistance body (5) is arranged on the cuneiform part. The strength of constant-resistance body (5) is higher than the strength of the sleeve (8), thus the sleeve (8) generates plastic deforming and the shape of the constant-resistance body (5) is not changed, when the constant-resistance body (5) moves in the sleeve (8). The lower end of the cables (7) is fixed on the constant-resistance body (5). The constant-resistance and large deformation anchor cable and the constant-resistance device have the properties of constant-resistance and preventing fracture, and can detect and early warn the all process of the activity of the landslides and the causative fault.
