Abstract:Combined with rock slope engineering examples, the analysis of the calculation methods for anchors axial force in rock slope was carried out in different ways. The results show that the calculated values of bolt axial force by limit equilibrium method, the strength reduction method, equivalent internal friction angle method, 2-D numerical analysis method are relatively large. The calculated values by 3-D numerical analysis method are reliable. It is consistent with the result from actual slope. The calculated values of anchors axial force by lateral rock pressure calculation method and unbalanced thrust method are almost the same with that by numerical analysis method. When the lateral pressure is close to zero, the calculation design method in technical code for building slope has potential safety problems. In this case, the strength reduction calculation method is proposed in this paper. Through a series of case studies, the applicability of the proposed method was clearly exhibited. Anchors axial force is not uniformly distributed, the anchors should be strengthened on the top and the bottom of the slope. The slope which has a good stability during the construction phase can be treated by direct construction method, because the stability of the slope has been fully used to reduce the anchors axial force, and also can optimize the designs.
