What is meant by simulated anchoring with locking and popping in rocks?
Ans:
First of all what makes simulated anchoring in rocks, the answer is Rock Bolt. Rock Bolt carries both tensile and shear forces, and to consider both we simulate rock by means of grout-bolt and rock-grout i.e. (locking and popping).
This kind of simulation is realistic if the rock bolt is loaded by a tensile force, as in the case of an individual anchor that is installed to support a rock wedge. However the shear bond between rock bolt and rock mass is not accounted for.
Term " Anchor cohession" Ca
Ca=Ta/Ai
Ta is shear resistance
Ai= Influence area per anchor
