Abstract
A computer model-based on VAX-ANSYS system was developed to model the behavior of multi-layer rock systems reinforced by pretensioned rock bolts. Three models were utilized for this study. The third model represents the friction between interlayers occuring due to the tensioned rock-bolts. Results obtained from this study compare favorably with those obtained from equations developed from model studies. An attempt has been made to study the effects of creep on the behavior of the rock-layer system.
