• Abstract:Many studies have used numerical models, analytical models and laboratory models to investigate the factors influencing the shear strength of bolted rock joints. This study presents the preparation of a reinforced standard cylindrical specimen containing a joint; the jointed specimen was reinforced with a 3D printed (3DP) rock bolt and planting-bar anchorage glue. The surface profile of the 3DP rock bolt was identical to that of an actual rock bolt, and the strength of the 3DP bolt was satisfactory. Afterwards, the digital image correlation (DIC) method was applied to capture the changes in the strain/displacement fields on the surfaces of the specimens during testing. In addition, two pressure sensors (PSs) were attached to the external threaded sections of each 3DP bolt; these PSs recorded the changes in the load at the bolt ends positioned in the upper section above the joint plane and in the lower section below the joint plane. The influences of the joint plane and joint angle on the cracking process, DIC changing pattern, and stress-strain evolution were comprehensively discussed. The research approaches proposed in this study provide new methods with which to investigate the reinforcement effect of bolts on jointed rock masses, the results of this study can be used as a reference in engineering areas where jointed rock masses must be reinforced by rock bolts.
