A tendon 10 is installed in a hole 34 in a mine hanging wall 36 by making use of a barrel 14 and a wedge arrangement 16. One end of the tendon is anchored in the hole 34 such that the other end protrudes therefrom. The barrel 14 is positioned over the protruding end of the tendon 10. A tensioning jack applies a tensile load to the tendon 10 and an oppositely disposed load to a shear ring 20 of the barrel. When the desired preload is reached the shear ring 20 fails permitting the tensioning jack 40 to displace wedge elements 30 of the wedge arrangement 16 inwardly thereby locking the barrel on the tendon and maintaining the desired preload in the tendon.
