4. Anchor field testing. Installed rock anchors shall undergo full-scale proof load, performance, and/or extended creep testing according to the testing requirements. The contractor shall develop a long-term monitoring system for anchors to monitor load loss, creep, and deformation of the stressed anchors which shall be capable of providing meaningful data for no less than 10 years.
