AbstractRock bolts are one of the main measures used to reinforce unstable blocks in a rock mass. The embedment length of fully grouted bolts in the stable and competent rock stratum behind the unstable rock blocks is an important parameter in determining overall bolt length. It is required that the bolt section in the stable stratum must be longer than the critical embedment length to ensure the bolt will not slip when loaded. Several series of pull tests were carried out on fully grouted rebar bolts to evaluate the pull-out mechanics of the bolts. Bolt specimens with different embedment lengths and water/cement ratios were installed in either a concrete block of one cubic meter or in steel cylinders. Load displacement was recorded during testing. For some of the bolts loaded beyond the yield load, permanent plastic steel deformation was also recorded. Based on the test results, three types of failure mechanisms were identified, corresponding to three loading conditions: (1) pull-out below the yield strength of the bolt steel; (2) pull-out between the yield and ultimate loads, that is, during strain hardening of the steel; and (3) steel failure at the ultimate load. For failure mechanisms 2 and 3, it was found that the critical embedment length of the bolt included three components: an elastic deformation length, a plastic deformation length and a completely debonded length due to the formation of a failure cone at the borehole collar.

To study the effect of loading rate on mechanical properties and acoustic emission characteristics of coal samples, collected from Sanjiaohe Colliery, the uniaxial compression tests are carried out under various levels of loading rates, including 0.001 mm/s, 0.002 mm/s, and 0.005 mm/s, respectively, using AE-win E1.86 acoustic emission instrument and RMT-150C rock mechanics test system. The results indicate that the loading rate has a strong impact on peak stress and peak strain of coal samples, but the effect of loading rate on elasticity modulus of coal samples is relatively small. When the loading rate increases from 0.001 mm/s to 0.002 mm/s, the peak stress increases from 22.67 MPa to 24.99 MPa, the incremental percentage is 10.23%, and under the same condition the peak strain increases from 0.006191 to 0.007411 and the incremental percentage is 19.71%. Similarly, when the loading rate increases from 0.002 mm/s to 0.005 mm/s, the peak stress increases from 24.99 MPa to 28.01 MPa, the incremental percentage is 12.08%, the peak strain increases from 0.007411 to 0.008203, and the incremental percentage is 10.69%. The relationship between acoustic emission and loading rate presents a positive correlation, and the negative correlation relation has been determined between acoustic emission cumulative counts and loading rate during the rupture process of coal samples.

The spherical indentation combined with acoustic emission was used to evaluate the local strength of glass, which is a nondestructive testing approach. However, stress time effect on the local strength of glass during spherical indentation has not been studied before. In the present work, stress time effect was investigated by examining the local strength of unstrengthened and strengthened glass at different loading rates. It is discovered that the local strength of glass increased greatly with the loading rate, which confirmed the time dependence of the fracture on glass. As a typical brittle material, the discreteness of strength date of glass measured by spherical indentation was also analyzed to evaluate the strength of glass correctly.

To study the loading rate dependence of acoustic emissions and the failure mechanism of fractured rock, biaxial compression tests performed on granite were numerically simulated using the bonded particle model in Particle Flow Code (PFC). Uniaxial tests on a sample containing a single open fracture were simulated under different loading rates ranging from 0.005 to 0.5 m/s. Our results demonstrate the following. (1) The overall trends of stress and strain changes are not affected by the loading rate; the loading rate only affects the strain required to reach each stage. (2) The strain energy rate and acoustic emission (AE) events are affected by the loading rate in fractured rock. With an increase in the loading rate, AE events and the strain energy rate initially increase and then decrease, forming a fluctuating trend. (3) Under an external load, the particles within a specimen are constantly squeezed, rotated, and displaced. This process is accompanied by energy dissipation via the production of internal tensile and shear cracks; their propagation and coalescence result in the formation of a macroscopic rupture zone.

Acoustic emission (AE) can be used to observe the process of coal fracture propagation. Based on a press and acoustic-emission platform, the damage and acoustic-emission characteristics of anthracite with different loading rates, water amounts and sizes were studied. The results show that there is less acoustic emission in the initial compression stage of coal; acoustic emission is more active in the transition from elastic deformation to plastic deformation, which is manifested in the following aspects: the faster the loading rate, the higher is the number of acoustic-emission events; the peak count of acoustic emissions of a saturated-coal sample is significantly lower than that of a natural-coal sample. Coal samples and large coal samples emit even more sounds. Based on the normalization of acoustic-emission counts, the relationship between damage variables and stress-strain is studied, and it is characterized by an initial slow increase, followed by a rapid increase; however, different factors have a great influence on the damage-characteristic curve. The research results have a certain guiding significance for the coal and rock disaster prediction.

Understanding the acoustic emission effects on bolts under cyclic loading is of great significance for the support of roadways. The presented research focuses on the acoustic emission characteristics of bolts under cyclic loading. The following main conclusions were drawn: (1) With a higher loading frequency, the acoustic emission counts rate increases, while the total energy released in a given cyclic loading path decreases. (2) A fitting formula is established according to the relationship between the tension amplitude and cumulative acoustic emission counts, which can analyze the tension magnitude level of the cyclic load. (3) A damage factor for a cyclic load is proposed based on the acoustic emission counts generated during the cyclic and monotonic loading process that can analyze the degree of damage to the anchorage system caused by the cyclic load. (4) Based on the spatial distribution of the acoustic emission orientation points and the acoustic emission energy generated during the pull-out process, the acoustic emission damage evolution process of the anchorage specimens is deduced, and the mechanism of the high stability of the pretension anchorage system after cyclic loading is analyzed. The above conclusions may provide some experimental references for the application of acoustic emission technology in bolts supporting roadways.
