Rock anchors are a common safety measure for stabilising large-scale infrastructure, such
as bridge towers, retaining walls, rock slopes and windmills. There are four principal failure …

As ground anchors are widely used to stabilize various structures, load distributive
compression anchor (LDCA) is gaining popularity owing to their high load-bearing capacity …

As a temporary anchorage technique, recoverable anchors have been widely adopted in
excavation supporting and underground mining for their unique economic and social merits …

The long-term performance of ground anchors, in particular prestressed anchors, is
influenced by the stress relaxation behavior over the soil–anchor interface. The …

Anchoring force loss is critically concerned for the in-service performance of prestressed
ground anchors. This time-dependent loss of pretension exerted at the anchor head is …

The interface creep behavior of the grouted soil anchor subject to varying soil moisture was
investigated using the combined incorporation of experimental and data-driven modeling …

This paper aims to numerically study the failure mechanisms of the rock mass during the
uplift test of a rock anchor installed in limestone. The rock anchor consisted of a smooth …

The grouted ground anchor is the most used geotechnical element to transfer the tension
load from the superstructure or the soil mass in front of the potential failure surface (active …

The load transfer characteristics of a tensile anchor in the rock mass with weak interlayers
were investigated, considering the nonuniform stress of the horizontally layered rock mass …

In this study, the failure process of the cement mortar-clay rock (C–C) binary was analyzed
using a composite hybrid FEM/DEM model. First, an improved pressure-related cohesive …
