Study on Critical Anchorage Length of Bolts by Numerical Simulation Method

Abstract

Numerical simulation method was used to study the problems on critical anchorage length of bolts. 3-D calculation model was built by FLAC program. By numerical simulation calculations, the conclusion could be drawn: the frictional resistance contribution had nothing to do with drawing forces, and was relevant to the bond stiffness of anchor mortar. And comparative analysis results of one engineering example showed that the calculated values by the presented method agreed well with the measured data.
