anchor testing rig 8-Sep-2010 At 1:03:18 AM Tommo

Awesome Mikl, I wish I was still around to take part, but look forward to hearing the results. I think testing different glue types in eg. Blueys sandstone will be interesting, as there are so many opinions (and very little fact) going around regarding viscosity of different glues in porous rock etc. This will no doubt improve on the data from Steve's thesis, which although admirable, seemed somewhat limited in its laboratory approach.

I assume it tests with a static ie. gradually increasing load? If you can get some skinny spectra type slings donated, I'd love to see you equalise and load DBB simulation with self-equalising 'twisted-x' vs knotted, in a 120cm sling. Again, so much rumour going around. But I digress - the aim is testing anchors in rock types, not the other links in the system. But you could mix it up and occasionally kill two birds with one stone, given the comments above about wire rope and chain rigs.
