The only quantitative difference, not a qualitative difference, just a pull medium. Cable tension member is a steel strand production, high strength bolt is a finishing deformed steel bar mainly steel, usually cable applied in large tonnage anchorage engineering.
Cable tension band with steel strand production, are made of steel or steel bolt. Usually the cable stress is larger, but also add to the stress, stress the form of anchoring section and the free section, can be used as a permanent anchorage engineering. Anchor bolts are a, D and soil.
In the domestic, in general, is the need for prestressed anchor, so it is the active force, more should be used for deformation or on the deformation demands strict engineering site; prestressed anchor is generally not ( sometimes exerted little prestressed ), so that it is the passive force, only when being anchorage rock mass deformation occurs when it play anchoring force. In addition, cable length of the 2050 meters, the anchor rod is less than 20 meters. In the world, is a type of anchor bolt.
