Abstract:

Anchoring mechanism and failure characteristics of composite soft rock with weak interface usually exhibit remarkable difference from those in single rock mass. In order to fully understand the reinforcement mechanism of composite soft roof in western mining area of China, a mechanical model of composite soft rock with weak interface and rock bolt which considering the transverse shear sliding between different rock layers was established firstly. The anchoring effect was quantified by a factor defined as anchoring effect coefficient and its evolution equation was further deduced based on the deformation relationship and homogenized distribution assumption of stress acting on composite structure. Meanwhile, the numerical simulation model of composite soft rock with shear joint was prompted by finite element method. Then detailed analysis were carried out for the deformation features, stress distribution and failure behavior of rock mass and rock bolt near the joint under transverse load. The theoretical result indicates that the anchoring effect of rock-bolt through weak joint changes with the working status of rock mass and closely relates with the physical and geometric parameters of rock mass and rock bolt. From the numerical results, the bending deformation of rock bolt accurately characterized by Doseresp model is mainly concentrated between two plastic hinges near the shear joint. The maximum tensile and compression stresses distribute in the plastic hinge. However, the maximum shear stress appears at the positions of joint surface. The failure zones of composite rock are produced firstly at the joint surface due to the reaction of rock bolt. The above results laid a theoretical and computational foundation for further study of anchorage failure in composite soft rock.

1 Introduction

Mine engineering in western area of China is mainly located in composite weakly cemented soft rock which exhibits typical characteristics of low strength, instability, and weak cohesion between different rock layers [1]. As a passive support, the anchoring force of non-prestressed full bonded rock bolt changes with the deformation of surrounding rock. Significant vertical displacement will be induced in the composite soft roof after tunnel excavation. Besides, shear sliding between different rock layers in the horizontal direction simultaneously appears due to the bending and sinking of roof as well as the horizontal stress. This makes the bolt bear not only axial force, but also shear force and bending moment which will cause shear failure in addition to the axial damage. Special rock lithology and structural feature result in more complex anchoring mechanism in composite soft rock.

Studies on the anchoring effect of rock bolt currently are mainly focused on a single rock medium. Two aspects were paid special attentions: one is the load transfer mechanism, the other is the reinforcement effect [2, 3]. Many scholars have made some results using a variety of methods and means. PHILLIPS [4], MA et al [5], and REN et al [6] constructed respectively the distribution function of shear stress along the length of anchorage body by theories of mechanics. In order to consider the elastoplastic behavior of rock medium, XIAO et al [7], HE et al [8] and MUYA et al [9] discussed the anchoring mechanism by establishing a series of elastoplastic constitutive models for different anchorage media. GOEL et al [10] and LIU et al [11] then analyzed the mechanical effect and influence factors of anchorage through numerical simulation. In the experimental aspect, KILIC et al [12, 13] and BENMOKRANE et al [14, 15] studied the influence of bolt shapes and cohesion differences of grout on the bearing capacity of the anchorage by similarity simulation experiment. Through laboratory test, HOU et al [16] and YANG et al [17] analyzed the reinforcement effect of anchorage on the stiffness and strength parameters of rock in anchoring range, and the control on the plastic zone in surrounding rock. According to the different situation of vertical anchorage in rock and soil, SAWWAF et al [18] carried out some small-scale experiments and drew the conclusions that anchorage can significantly increase the soil stiffness and improve pullout force of rock bolt. ZOU et al [19] analyzed the anchoring effect of rock bolt in different lithological rock mass and the results showed that the lithology was weaker, the anchoring effect was better.

In the aspect of anchorage in composite rock structure, LIU et al [20] discussed the effect of bolt pretension on the shear behavior of jointed rock mass through direct shear on concrete block instead of rock mass, and obtained the results that full-length anchorage system with high prestress had a better effect on the reinforcement of jointed and fractured surrounding rock. On the basis of numerical calculation, LU et al [21] discussed the optimization scheme to develop the ultimate bearing capacity of anchorage according to the cable structure with dispersed pressure in interbedded structure with soft and hard rock. YANG et al [22] studied the deformation behavior of anchorage body in layered rock mass by physical simulation. According to the theories of mechanics of composite materials, LI et al [23] treated the layered rock with anchorage system as composite material with reinforcement, then established and verified the equivalent meso mechanical model of anchoring system.

From the present studies, conclusions are mainly drawn from the specimens of thin bedded rock in slope according to the anchoring effect of composite rock mass. Due to the complexity of the problem, the laboratory test is the main adopted measure and theoretical study results are less. Besides, the bending failure of rock bolt under transverse load and thus the induced damage in soft rock in numerical model is not considered in the above results. Therefore, theoretical and numerical studies on the anchoring effect and load transfer mechanism of anchorage in composite weak cemented soft rock were carried out simultaneously in this paper. Through theoretical analysis, a method to quantify the anchoring effect of composite soft rock was proposed. In the numerical simulation, the distribution of deformation and stress as well as the failure behavior in rock mass and rock bolt were discussed respectively. The results laid foundation for further discussing the anchorage failure in such geological condition.

2 Mechanical model of bolted composite soft rock

Due to the low contact strength, lateral shear sliding will be induced between different layers under the action of horizontal stress and roof deformation after excavation. This will cause the rock bolt suffer large lateral force. Thus, a mechanical model composed of soft rocks, weak bedding plane and rock bolt was established as shown in Figure 1. Without loss of generality, the angle between rock bolt and joint surface was set as θ which was a variable.

Figure 1 Mechanical model of bolted composite soft rock:

Let the transverse load applied on rock bolt be F induced by the shear sliding between upper soft rock and lower soft rock as shown in Figure 1(a). σn is the normal stress, and τS is the shear strength of joint surface. Unlike the rock bolt in single medium of rock mass, both transverse deformation and axial deformation will be induced in the anchorage body which crosses over the weak bedding plane of composite soft rock. According to the field situation, the bending stress of anchor bolt is analyzed based on Euler beam model. Obviously, the part near the joint surface will undergo the maximum transverse load. Let the average shear stress and average axial stress on the cross section of rock bolt at this position be τm and σm respectively.

Actually, the distribution of shear stress on the cross section of rock bolt under the action of bending deformation is very complicated. As shown in Figure 2, the distribution of shear stress exhibits as a parabolic along the height direction of circular bolt under the action of transverse force FS, and reaches the maximum at the neutral axis which is denoted as τmax. Relationship between average shear stress τm and the maximum shear stress τmax is

                            (1)

3 Analytical solution of anchoring effect on composite soft rock with weak bedding plane

Previous studies [24–30] indicate that the transverse deformation of rock-bolt through layers not only exists at the bedding plane, but in a region which contains the joint surface. Let the bolt length in this region be as. The domain length of bolt near the joint surface where significant axial deformation is produced under bending is denoted as an.

In general, the reinforcement effect of rock bolt on composite soft rock exhibits in two aspects: one is the increasing of normal stress in rock mass near the joint surface, the other is the enhancement of shear strength of joint surface. Let the original shear strength of joint surface be

                         (2)

where φs is the friction angle, Cs is cohesion.

To simplify the analysis, the anchoring effect of single rock bolt is assumed to distribute evenly in anchorage zone near the joint surface. Let the cross section area of rock bolt be Am, and the equivalent area of rock layer in anchoring zone be As, according to Figure 1(a), the equivalent normal stress and tangential stress in the rock layer under the action of rock bolt is deduced as

                (3)

In fact, the shear strength of joint surface is the most impacted under the action rock-bolt through layers. Therefore, the relative increasing of shear strength is selected to quantify the reinforcement effect after the installation of rock bolt. Let the increased shear strength be τSI, thus, the anchoring effect factor is defined as

                              (4)

where τSISrm=(σnrm)tanφs+C+τrm. Apparently, the higher the ξ is, the more obvious the anchoring effect is.

Figure 1(b) demonstrates the deformation relationship between rock mass and rock bolt near joint surface where λs is the transverse shear deformation and λn is the normal deformation of rock mass. ηs and ηn respectively stands for the lateral and axial deformation of rock bolt. Let the stiffness coefficient of joint surface in normal and tangential directions be Kn and Ks respectively, relationship between the stress and deformation of joint surface is calculated as

                      (5)

Relationships between the stress and deformation of rock bolt in the two directions are

              (6)

where Gm and Em are the shear modulus and elastic modulus respectively. The integral results of Eq. (6) depend on the distribution of shear stress and axial force on the cross section of rock bolt in anchorage zone. For instance, if both satisfy the linear distribution, then

,                (7)

where Φs and Φn are related with the distribution function of shear stress and axial stress respectively.

According to Figure 1(b), deformation relationship between rock bolt and joint surface can be written as

                      (8)

On the simultaneous expressions of Eqs. (3), (5), (7), (8), and relations σ=σnrm and τSISrm, the normal stress and tangential stress is respectively determined as

           (9)

where and which are related with the support stiffness of rock bolt. It is thus clear that the stiffness contribution of rock bolt on composite soft rock is composed of two parts, namely axial stiffness effect and shear stiffness effect (pin effect). According to Eq. (9), the displacements of rock bolt are established as

                       (10)

where

, ,

, ,

Substituting Eq. (7) into Eq. (8), relationship between bolt stress and deformation of joint surface is deduced as

              (11)

By comprehensive utilization of Eqs. (4), (8), (9) and (11), the anchoring effect factor presented in Eq. (4) is derived as follows

(12)

Obviously, the anchoring effect of rock-bolt through rock layer is closely related with the physical and geometric parameters of rock bolt and rock mass as well as joint surface. In fact, the displacement between rock layers is changing with the stress state, and this certainly will affect the stress distribution of rock bolt, so as to change the reinforcement effect. Thus, the anchoring effect factor is not a constant, but changing with the working state of composite soft rock.

On the other hand, the anchoring effect factor has its upper limitation due to the strength of rock bolt. Let yield condition of bolt satisfy the Mises yield criterion, that is

                        (13)

Substituting Eq. (11) into Eq. (13), the equation characterizing the critical yield state of rock bolt in complex stress state is established as

    (14)

4 Numerical simulation of rock-bolt through rock layer

The anchoring effect of rock-bolt through layer was described in detail above by analytical method. However, the analytical solutions are difficult to establish due to the complex relations. In this part, a three dimensional calculation model of composite soft rock with rock bolt was established by finite element method in order to make clearly the mechanical behavior of rock bolt and soft rock layer during the failure process of joint surface.

4.1 Finite element model

Considering the symmetrical characteristic of geometry, half of the composite model was established as shown in Figure 3. For convenient analysis, the joint surface is assumed to be flat without considering the morphology influence of weak bedding plane. The dimension of rock layer at upper and lower is set as 150 mm×75 mm×150 mm. The diameters of rock bolt and grout are 20 mm and 25 mm, respectively. The model of rock mass, grout and rock bolt was respectively meshed by C3D8R element which called hexahedron reduced integral element with 8 node in ABAQUS. In order to simulate the interaction and loading transfer between rock bolt, grout and rock layer, three contact interfaces were set as shown in Figure 3(a). A hard contact model was adopted to describing the normal contact behavior considering the open behavior in normal direction. In tangential direction, the typical Coulomb friction model was applied considering the sticking and sliding behavior. Due to the symmetry of the model, each symmetry surface was fixed in normal direction. The transverse force was applied on the left surface (x) of rock 1 and right surface (x) of rock 2. Figure 3(b) showed the meshing result of composite model.

Figure 3 Calculation model of composite soft rock with rock bolt:

4.2 Constitutive model

A modified Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model was applied both on rock layer and grout. For rock bolt, due to the hardening behavior after yield point, the bilinear kinematic hardening constitutive model was employed [31]. The stress–strain relation was set in accordance with the experimental results as shown in Figure 4. After highest point of hardening period, mechanical behavior of rock bolt shows as ideal plastic. However, the stress and strain obtained from laboratory are nominal, they should be converted to the true values through the following relations

                     (15)

where ε and σ are the true strain and stress respectively.εnorm and σnorm are the nominal.

Figure 4 Stress–strain relationship of rock bolt

4.3 Bending deformation of rock bolt

Under the action of transverse force and normal stress of rock layer, significant bending deformation in rock-bolt through layer will be induced near the joint surface due to its shear slip. Figures 5 and 6 demonstrate the distribution curves of bending deformation and equivalent plastic strain of rock bolt along its axial direction when the cohesions of rock layer were set as 2, 6 and 10 MPa, respectively. Let the bending deflection of bolt axis be w, then

                             (16)

where θ is the angle between the tangential direction of deflection curve and horizontal direction at plastic hinge.

Actually, the deflection curve of rock bolt between the two plastic hinges is approximately linear. The bending deformation is mainly induced in this region. The rock strength will directly affect the bending range. For instance, when cohesion is set as 2 MPa, the distribution range of bending deformation is 100 mm. However, this range will reduce to 79 mm while the cohesion of rock is increased to 6 MPa and 8 MPa, respectively.

It is clear that the deflection curves of rock bolt shown in Figure 5 appear as typical “S” type which can be fitted from nonlinear regression by

employing Doseresp model. The regression results are

(C=2 MPa)

(C=6 MPa)

(C=10 MPa)

Comparison between the original data with regression results was demonstrated in Figure 7. The fitting precision is very high and correlation coefficients are all more than 99.9%.

4.4 Stress distribution in rock bolt

Concentrated zone of tensile and compression stress in rock bolt is generated on both sides of joint surface due to the significant bending deflection. Figure 8 represents the contour of axial stress in rock bolt along the axis. On the left side of joint surface, maximum tensile and compression stress are induced at the top and bottom of rock bolt respectively. However, the distribution is diametrically opposed on the right side. From Figure 6, it can be seen that the location of maximum stress just at the two plastic hinges.

Figure 7 Comparison of fitting results of original data:

Figure 8 Contour of axial stress in rock bolt

Besides, relatively little axial stress is induced at the joint surface.

The distribution law of axial stress in rock bolt is presented in Figure 9. Due to the bending deflection under transverse force, the axial stress near joint surface region increases rapidly. As shown in Figure 5(a), rock bolt enters into the yielding state fast at two plastic hinges. But at the joint position, the axial stress is small. Rock bolt will present ideal plastic behavior after hardening stage, so the stress at plastic hinge will not obviously change even if the transverse force is further increased.

Figure 9 Distribution law of axial stress in rock bolt

Figure 10 demonstrates the contour of shear stress in rock bolt. Obviously, the maximum shear stress appears at the position of joint surface. The bending moment is approximately 0 from above analysis. Taking the central part of rock bolt as monitoring elements, the distribution curve of shear stress along the axial direction is presented in Figure 11. No shear stress is induced at plastic hinges. It is rapidly increased to the maximum from plastic hinge to joint position.

Figure 10 Contour of shear stress in rock bolt

Figure 11 Distribution law of shear stress along axial direction in rock bolt

4.5 Distribution of plastic failure region in composite soft rock

Shear sliding will be induced on the joint surface under the action of transverse force as shown in Figure 12. With the increasing of shear displacement, significant stress concentration is generated in soft rock near the joint surface due to the strong reaction of rock bolt which is induced by the large bending deformation. So these zones are prone to crushing. In Figure 12, the distribution law of equivalent strain in composite rock under the action of transverse force when C is set as 2 MPa was also presented. Evidently, the equivalent plastic strain in these zones near the joint surface is obviously higher than the other part. This implies that the zones in composite soft rock near joint surface are the first to failure which causes the loosening failure of anchorage body.

Large difference of plastic zone in soft rock exhibits near the joint surface according to different rock strengths. Figure 13 shows the different distributions of plastic zone in composite soft rock with different cohesions. Due to the pin effect of rock bolt, significant compression failure zone is produced in soft rock layer near the joint surface. The lower the rock strength is, the greater the distribution range failure area is. As the result shown, the failure zones are significantly reduced when the cohesion is increased to 10 MPa.

5 Conclusions

In this paper, theoretical and numerical analysis were carried out for the anchoring effect of rock-bolt through layer in composite soft rock of western mining area of China. A quantitative evaluation method was proposed from theoretical study. Based on the numerical simulation, the bending behavior of rock bolt and failure characteristics of soft rock near the joint surface were made clearly. All the conclusions are drawn as follows:

1) The anchoring effect of rock-bolt through layer exhibits mainly on the shear strength of joint surface in composite soft rock. This effect can be quantified by a factor d. From its analytical expression, it is found that this factor is not a constant but changing with the working condition of composite soft rock which is closely related with the physical and geometric parameters of composite model.

2) The bending deformation of rock bolt is mainly distributed between the two plastic hinges, and the bending curve can be regressed from Doseresp model. The bending displacement of rock bolt is closely related with the rock strength. At the plastic hinge, the maximum tensile and compression stress are produced on the edge of rock bolt. At the position of joint surface, shear stress is concentrated in the middle of rock bolt and the bending moment is approximate 0. The shear stress rapidly reduced from the joint surface to the plastic hinge.

3) Due the strong reaction of rock bolt, significant stress concentration is produced in the soft rock near the joint surface. This leads to the compression failure zones in this area. The range of failure area is closely related with rock strength.

复合软岩穿层锚固效应的理论和数值模拟研究

摘要:复合软岩的锚固机理及锚固失效特征不同于单一岩体锚固。针对西部矿区复合软岩顶板锚固问题,考虑岩层间的横向剪切滑移,建立了含软弱界面复合软岩锚固的力学模型;提出采用锚固效应因子量化穿层锚杆的锚固效应;从加锚复合岩体的变形破坏过程出发, 研究了系统锚杆的加固效果与机理, 建立加固效果演化方程;采用有限元方法,进一步建立了复合软岩锚固的数值计算模型,分析了岩体在横向载荷作用下,节理面附近锚杆和岩体的变形特征、应力分布规律以及破坏行为。理论研究结果表明,穿层锚杆的加固效应与锚杆的刚度参数、几何参数,围岩的刚度参数和几何参数据有关。锚固效应因子是一个随着围岩工作状态改变而变化的量。从数值计算结果看,锚杆在横向荷载作用下的弯折变形主要集中在节理面附近的两塑性铰之间,变形曲线可用Doseresp模型进行表征;在2个塑性铰处,锚杆存在最大拉压应力,在节理面处,出现最大剪应力,复合岩体在节理面附近由于锚杆的反作用最先出现塑性破坏区。以上结果为进一步研究复合软岩锚固失效奠定了理论和计算基础。

Abstract: Anchoring mechanism and failure characteristics of composite soft rock with weak interface usually exhibit remarkable difference from those in single rock mass. In order to fully understand the reinforcement mechanism of composite soft roof in western mining area of China, a mechanical model of composite soft rock with weak interface and rock bolt which considering the transverse shear sliding between different rock layers was established firstly. The anchoring effect was quantified by a factor defined as anchoring effect coefficient and its evolution equation was further deduced based on the deformation relationship and homogenized distribution assumption of stress acting on composite structure. Meanwhile, the numerical simulation model of composite soft rock with shear joint was prompted by finite element method. Then detailed analysis were carried out for the deformation features, stress distribution and failure behavior of rock mass and rock bolt near the joint under transverse load. The theoretical result indicates that the anchoring effect of rock-bolt through weak joint changes with the working status of rock mass and closely relates with the physical and geometric parameters of rock mass and rock bolt. From the numerical results, the bending deformation of rock bolt accurately characterized by Doseresp model is mainly concentrated between two plastic hinges near the shear joint. The maximum tensile and compression stresses distribute in the plastic hinge. However, the maximum shear stress appears at the positions of joint surface. The failure zones of composite rock are produced firstly at the joint surface due to the reaction of rock bolt. The above results laid a theoretical and computational foundation for further study of anchorage failure in composite soft rock.
