AN ANALYTICAL ANALYSIS FOR THE MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF FULLY-GROUTED ROCKBOLTS BASED ON THE EXPONENTIAL SOFTENING MODEL

An analytical analysis for the mechanical performance of fully-grouted rockbolts based on the exponential softening model

This paper lochby venture pouch presented a novel bond-slip model to better reveal the mechanical behavior of the bolt-grout interface for fully-grouted rockbolts under tensile loads by considering the non-linear response in the softening stage.The exponential decay function is adopted for describing the non-linear response in the softening stage.B
