A sleevefor introduction of a pressurized fluid, which is attached to a rockbolt main body, comprises a cylindrical projecting partof a large diameter and a bearing-plate-holding partof a diameter smaller than an aperture of a bearing plate. The projecting partand the bearing-plate-holding partpreferably has the same inner diameter. When the rockbolt main bodyis embedded in a bedrock or ground, the bearing platelocates on an edge of a rockbolt-setting hole of the bedrock or ground, and the bearing-plate-holding partextends through the bearing plateinto the rockbolt-setting hole. Since the projecting partand the bearing plateare disposed on a sprayed concrete layer, a projection height of the rockbolt is remarkably decreased. Consequently, lining concreteis applied onto the sprayed concrete layer with ease, and the bedrock or ground is reinforced with high reliability.
