Analytical studying the axial performance of fully encapsulated rock bolts

Fully encapsulated rock bolts are widely used in keeping the stability of underground openings and slopes. However, bonding failure at the bolt/grout (B/G) interface still occurs. Thus, a theoretical solution was proposed to investigate the rock bolting performance. The coupling and decoupling behaviour of the B/G interface is simulated with a bonding-slipping formula. The feasibility of this bonding-slipping formula was confirmed with physical...
