Calculation of Bond Length Calculations of Rock Bolt

Calculation of Bond Length of grouted Rock Bolt

a) Bond between Bolt and grout

Grade of steel = Fe 500
Dia of bar used = 25.00 mm
Maximum service load on 1 anchor,P = 190.00 kN

As per clause 6.4.2 of IS 14448 : 1997

Assuming characteristic strength of the grout,fck = 25.00 N/mm2
Allowable bond stress, (fck/10) = 25.00/10 = 2.50 N/mm2
Max. Permissible allowable bond stress of deformed bars = 2.50 N/mm2
Considered allowable bond stress,ta (min of the above) = 2.50 N/mm2
As per clause 6.4.2.3 of IS 14448 : 1997
Anchorage length shall be obtained from following experssion

L = P.F
pdta
where,
L= Effective/fixed anchor length
P= Pull out force per anchor
F= FOS taken as 3
d= dia. of bar

L = 190.00*1000*FOS taken as = 2903 mm

3/(3.14*25.00*2.50)

b) Bond between Rock Bolt and Grout

As per Table 2 of IS 14448 : 1997
Safe bond stregth between grout and soil nail
Considering safe bond strength of 0.35 N/mm2 (t/FOS)
Dia. of hole for anchor bar = 45.00 mm
Anchorage length shall be = 190.00*1000/(3.14*45.00*0.35) = 3840 mm

As per clause 6.4.2.2 of IS 14448 : 1997

Fixed anchor length should not be less than 60*25.00 i.e 1500 mm
