Abstract

Rock bolting is a commonly used reinforcement technique for jointed rock masses. This study investigates the anchorage effects of rock bolts on cross-jointed rock masses. Novel 3D-printed stainless steel bolts were used to reinforce rock-like specimens with main joint angles of 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 75°. The integration of Acoustic Emission (AE) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques enabled comprehensive monitoring of crack propagation and strain evolution. The results show that bolt reinforcement significantly enhanced specimen strength (up to 79.9 %) and elastic modulus (up to 37.9 %) at smaller joint angles (≤45°). However, the reinforcement effectiveness diminished considerably at larger angles (≥60°), with strength reductions of up to 10.6 %. The combined AE-DIC analysis revealed distinct failure mechanisms: tensile-dominated failure at small joint angles and shear-dominated failure at larger joint angles. This study provides practical guidelines for optimizing rock bolt applications in jointed rock masses, particularly highlighting the need for alternative support strategies at large joint angles.

期刊介绍： Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics'' aims & scopes have been re-designed to cover both the theoretical, applied, and numerical aspects associated with those cracking related phenomena taking place, at a micro-, meso-, and macroscopic level, in materials/components/structures of any kind. The journal aims to cover the cracking/mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures in those situations involving both time-independent and time-dependent system of external forces/moments (such as, for instance, quasi-static, impulsive, impact, blasting, creep, contact, and fatigue loading). Since, under the above circumstances, the mechanical behaviour of cracked materials/components/structures is also affected by the environmental conditions, the journal would consider also those theoretical/experimental research works investigating the effect of external variables such as, for instance, the effect of corrosive environments as well as of high/low-temperature.
