Pull-out load and the cement -sand ratio (CSR) can affect the non-destructive testing (NDT) results of anchor bolts. Therefore, in this article, NDT experiments were conducted on both fully and defectively grouted anchor bolts, and variation patterns of key dynamic testing signal parameters were analyzed. A longitudinal vibration model of defectively grouted anchor bolts considering dynamic and static damping was proposed, and simulated NDT of anchor bolts with varying qualities. The results indicated that grouting defects resulted in an increase in wave velocity, along with a decrease in the ...
