ABSTRACT: The present design bearing stress for injection bolts is based on long duration creep tests. Recent
research has shown that for short duration loads higher design bearing stresses can be allowed. This is especially
important for structures where the main load consists of short duration loads e.g. wind load, such as the new
glass roof in the ...
