In this paper, field measurement is used to obtain the force of system anchor in its actual working condition and stress situation of system anchors in different parts of loess tunnel is analyzed based on field test results, indicating the reasons why values of measured axial force of system anchor are different in different parts of loess tunnel. Based on the displacement solution of Mindlin problem, this paper deduces the analytical solution to stress distribution of system anchors in the sidewall of loess tunnel under the pull-out force, analyzes the distribution forms and influencing factors of shear stress and axial force. At the same time, analytical solutions to system anchor stress and surrounding rock plastic zone radius are tentatively applied to the analysis of stress characteristics and length optimization of system anchor in loess tunnel. The research results are of great significance to understand the mechanical characteristics of anchors in loess tunnel and to optimize the design of anchors in the primary support system of loess tunnel, which leads to accelerated construction progress and low economically cost, especially in loess tunnels with large cross section and long span.
