Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of a numerical FEM analysis of the effect of embedment depth on the extent of the failure zone (cone failure) under the effect of an undercut anchor. For the establishment of the other affecting quantities, the formation of the value of the cone failure angle of the rock medium depending on the embedment depth was analysed. The problem is interesting as regards aspects of rock mass loosening during pull-out of undercut anchors. As a result of the analysis, a significant effect of embedment depth on propagation and the extent of cone failure has been found. The increasing value of embedment depth significantly decreases the extent of the failure zone measured on a free rock surface. The increasing value of cone failure angle limits the potential interaction of failure zones in multi-anchor systems.
