Research on the Mechanics Performance of the New Tension–Compression Rock Bolt Through Numerical Simulation

Abstract

In order to study the mechanical mechanism of the new tension–compression composite anchor, the finite element software is used to establish the numerical calculation model of the new composite anchor, and the numerical drawing test is carried out. Through numerical experiments, the optimal position range of the bolt bearing plate is obtained, and the axial load and shear stress distribution of the bolt were analyzed. The results show that the ultimate pullout force of the new tension–compression composite bolt increases first and then decreases with the movement of the bearing plate position, and the optimal position is at the position where the length ratio of the tension–compression anchorage section is 3:4. At the same time, the study shows that the optimal position of the bearing plate has an optimal position interval. The ultimate uplift capacity of the new tension–compression composite anchor is 118.6% and 94% higher than that of the traditional tension anchor and pressure anchor, respectively. The shear stress distribution of the new tension–compression composite anchor is more uniform. The peak shear stress first appears at the bearing plate and begins to transfer to both sides of the bearing plate with the increase in the drawing force, which increases first and then decreases. Since the new tension–compression composite anchorage section is in an unbonded state, the axial load of the bolt is always equal to the drawing force. The axial force distribution of the tensile anchorage section is similar to that of the traditional tensile bolt and decreases exponentially along the axial direction of the bolt. Under the action of ultimate drawing force, the plastic zone distribution of the new tension–compression composite anchor is different from that of the traditional tension anchor and the traditional pressure anchor. The plastic zone first appears in the position of the bearing plate and begins to transfer to both sides of the bearing plate with the increase in the drawing force. When the plastic strain exceeds the allowable strain of the interface, the bolt pulls out from the anchor hole and the bolt support structure fails.
