关键词：Review and prospects of shear test bolted rock joints

摘要：AbstractRock bolting is a critical approach in geotechnical engineering for supporting weak rocks. However, weak structural planes, such as rock joints and faults, can easily cause shear deformation of bolts, leading to large shear deformation failure. So, the shear mechanical properties of bolt anchorage are a crucial aspect of engineering stability. Laboratory tests and numerical simulation m...

关键词：Advancing mine pillar design Evaluating traditional methods and integrating AI for enhanced stability of pillars in the Great Dyke Zimbabwe

摘要：AbstractMine pillar design plays a crucial role in ensuring the stability and safety of underground mining operations, particularly in geologically and geotechnically complex settings like the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe. Traditional pillar stress determination methods, such as the tributary area method (TAM) and Coates’ method, have been widely applied in room and pillar mining. However, these app...
