In tunnelling engineering, the cable anchor is usually used to reinforce the surrounding rock
mass. Site observation shows that the cable anchor may be subjected to different joint …

A ribbed rebar or rock bolt, grouted with Portland cement is the most common type of
reinforcement in geomechanical projects such as tunnels, rock slopes and foundations. Due …

An analytical model for the behaviour of fully grouted cable bolts under axial loading
condition is provided in this paper. This theoretical approach considers the elastic, softening …

Pretension is the pre-added axial tensile force on fully grouted bolt systems, which include
rock bolts and cable bolts. Although a series of studies via lab testing and analytical …

Determining a suitable width of gob-side filling wall (GFW) is a major concern in the
application of gob-side entry retaining (GER) technology in highly gassy coal mines. This …

Shear behavior of the bolt–grout interface basically depends on site-specific boundary
conditions, ie, initial normal stress and normal stiffness of the borehole wall. Few studies …

Cable bolts are extensively used in mining and civil structures as one of the most important
support systems for ground control. In order to design an effective support system …

Fully-grouted passive bolts are widely used in underground or surface rock excavations and
in particular in stabilizing potentially unstable blocks of rock due to sliding on natural …

Deep underground excavation in civil and mining engineering motivates the development of
high-strength rockbolting reinforcement. A feasible way to promote the performance of the …

The interaction mechanism between grouted anchor cables and the surrounding rock mass
or soil are complicated and difficult to investigate using conventional monitoring …
