The stress fields in the rock in the immediate vicinities of the ends of prestressed rock bolts are considered. In particular, the tensile stresses that are likely to initiate cracks are studied. A fracture mechanics analysis shows that if cracks are initiated they will normally not be extended more than a few bore hole diameters and cause negligable reduction of the tensile force in the rock bolts. It is suggested that the initiated cracks can be considerably extended by blasting activities in the neighborhood and accordingly cause loss of bolt tension. If so retensioning of the rock bolts is quite meaningless.
