Study on a Transparent Similar Rock-Anchoring Structure under Impact Tests and Numerical Simulation Tests

Abstract

Interface slip is one of the main failure forms of an anchor structure, but the debonding slip process of rockbolt cannot be directly observed under impact load, so it is important to study the failure mechanism of the interface debonding of an anchor structure. For this purpose, a kind of transparent similar rock-anchoring structure and a new rockbolt impact load test system were developed. The debonding process of the anchor structure was carried out based on the system and Particle Flow Code (PFC) simulation test. The main conclusions are as follows: Axial force of rockbolt decreases progressively from the load end to the other end, but the shear stress of the interfaces increases at the early stage and then decreases. The majority of shear stress is at I interface compared to shear stress at II interface. The crack in the transparent sample occurs first in the middle of the sample, then extends to the local position of the two interfaces and finally penetrates all cracks, and the debonding failure mode is dual-interface mixed. According to laboratory tests and PFC simulation tests, the crack growth process can be divided into three stages. The results of the PFC simulation tests are similar to those of the laboratory impact tests of rockbolt.
