In this research, the rockbolt mechanism of a jointed rock mass under uniaxial tension was systematically revealed with a laboratory test and a numerical simulation. It was found that the rockbolt rock mass experienced five stages under uniaxial tension, the densification stage, elastic stage, plastic deformation stage, progressive debonding stage, and complete debonding stage. The stress-strain curve and ultimate tensile strength of a rockbolt rock mass were analyzed by taking the rockbolt spacing and rockbolt angle as variables. It was found that the improvement effect of the reduction of the rockbolt spacing on the ultimate tensile strength was limited. When the rockbolt spacing was reduced to a certain limit, the stress concentration area between adjacent rockbolts was connected and destroyed, resulting in the increase of the rockbolt rock strength becoming smaller, and even having a downward trend. The increase of the rockbolt angle led to the change of the stress mode and failure mode of the whole structure, and the ultimate tensile strength first increased and then decreased. The optimal rockbolt angle was between 60° and 70°. It is worth noting that there was an obvious mechanical occlusion between the thread on the rockbolt surface and the rock mass, resulting in the multi-stage step-down characteristic of the stress-strain curve in the complete debonding stage. The results of this study can provide a reference for the design and construction of similar projects.
