Abstract
An improved method for rockbolt fracture is proposed in this paper to determine the exact fracture position of rockbolts simulated using cable structural elements (cableSELs) in FLAC3D. This method employs the total elongation of the free segment of the rockbolt as the fracture criterion. The maximum deformation position is identified by comparing the length of each cableSEL in the free segment, leading to the fracture. The simulation results validated through a rockbolt tensile test closely match actual conditions. The proposed method was used to optimize the roadway support in deep extra-thick coal seams (DECSs). Optimized parameters were obtained by simulating and analyzing different lengths and spacings of rockbolts and anchor cables. The field implementation conducted shows that the optimized deformation and support strength of the roadway meet safety needs.
