The study was done through experimental tests coupled with

In very poor rock masses, large e

7、xcavations have an unsupported stand-up time less than the minimum time required to support the roof after the excavation. Therefore, the principal objective in the design of a support system is to help the rock mass to support itself. During recent decades the use of rock bolts, which actually form

8、 a part of the rock mass, has become more and more widespread. Indeed, the use of rock bolts is a very exible method that can be combined with wire mesh, shotcrete and concrete lining to cope with almost any situation encountered during mining or tunnelling. According to Kovari, the history of rock

9、bolting began with a patent specication (no. 302909) submitted by Stephan, Frohlich and Klupfel in 1913. However, it was only in the 1940s that the use of rock bolts became common in the American mining industry. Although anchors have been used for few projects in North America and Europe in the ear

10、ly 1950s, it was in Australia with the Snowy Mountains Scheme Project that, for the rst time, a series of studies have been undertaken for a better scientic understanding of the mechanics of rock bolting, establishing anchors as method of permanent rock support in civil engineering. In Europe, rock

11、bolting began to be used extensively only when the rst tunnels were built according to the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) in the 1960s. During the 1970s and 1980s a number of researchers carried out in-situ tests for monitoring the behaviour of installed rock bolts, and the use of rock boltin

12、g became a standard method for rock mass support. In those years a wide variety of dowels and bolt types were developed to meet different needs which arise in mining and civil engineering. In the 1990s Lunardi showed that, instead of relying on supporting the ground following excavation, the use of

13、rock bolts for systematic pre-reinforcement of the front of the tunnel increases rock strength prior to excavation, increasing the stability and safety of the underground works. Today, especially in tunnelling, the reinforcement of jointed rock masses with anchors is widely used because of its prove

14、d efcacy and its low cost. However, the exact mechanism of resistance of the bolted system is difcult to analyse, and this is due to three aspects: the presence of a discontinuity with its roughness, the presence of several different materials (bolt, rock, grout or resin) with different mecanical be

15、haviours, and the three-dimensional aspect of the system that is hard to simulate (i.e., bolt typology, bolt orientation, and load conditions). It is certain that the bolts increase the rock mass resistance, but the magnitude of this increase is hard to calculate. As a consequence, there is no unani

16、mously approved method for the design of the reinforcement system, and most of the techniques are left to the practical experience of the engineer. 2.Past studies Many experimental tests have been performed in order to study the mechanical behaviour of bolted rock joints. A number of researchers carried out experimental programs on different types of rocks, reinforced by various elements. A wide variety of bolt and dowel types have been developed, indeed, t
