Abstract
Underground excavation in fractured rock masses can lead to instability of rock blocks on its perimeter. Among the stabilization measures that are often used, dowels or passive bolts play an important role. These passive reinforcement measures cannot, however, be easily considered in simplified calculation techniques based on the Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM). The analysis of such elements cannot be separated from rock-dowel interaction following the displacement of the block.
