Abstract:
Now in the highway construction of the mountain area, fractured rock mass slope always strengthened by the anchor rope. In order to investigate the strengthen effect of the slope fractured rock mass strengthened by the prestressed anchor rope, laboratory similar model test was designed and preceded. By the self-made facilities, a new method of modeling prestressed anchor rope was used in the test. Nylon ropes and the aluminum flakes were used to model the anchor rope and discrete rock mass joints. Gypsum based mix material was used to model rock. According to the real slope engineering site circumstances, six sorts of different disposed prestressed nylon rope strengthened model specimens and the specimens without prestressed nylon rope were made by the similar theory. With the test results, the strength and deformation properties of different model specimens were investigated. Comparison to different anchor effects of the different model specimens was made. The final analysis shows that in order to make full use of the anchor rope's strengthen ability, anchor rope should be disposed perpendicularly to the fracture structure rock mass's main joint direction and should be placed in the upper or top area of the fractured rock mass slope.
