Abstract:This work presents the results of a FEA (Finite Element Analysis) concerning the propagation of the fracture trajectory during the detachment of rock masses. The analysis considers mechanical anchoring parameters, including the depth of anchoring and the friction between the anchor head and the brittle material. The analysis involved varying the effective anchorage depth h ef = 50, 100, and 150 mm, along with considering different coefficients of friction (μ) for the anchor head against the rock, including 0.1… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
