Due to the influence of the ground stress, mining disturbance, and other factors, the roadway surrounding rock in deep underground engineering such as mines, tunnels, and underground caverns is prone to looseness and deformation with the excavation of roadways. In such engineering, the bolt support is frequently employed to stabilize the surrounding rock. In this work, a part of the anchor and the surrounding rock were taken as a simplified model of the anchorage rock mass, and the laboratory compression test was performed on the similitude model. Then, the FLAC3D software was used to simulate varying numbers of bolts and different lateral pressure conditions, and the peak stress, the maximum principal stress field, and the anchor stress field distribution of the anchorage rock mass were obtained. The influence of bolt pretightening force and row spacing on the stability of surrounding rock was discussed using the combined arch theory. The results show that increasing the number of bolts and lateral pressure in the anchorage rock mass can significantly improve the stress value and distribution range of the maximum principal stress field and the anchorage stress field. The fluctuation of the anchorage stress field at different anchorage distances can be lessened by increasing the number of bolts (bolt density). When the lateral pressure exceeds 3 MPa, the anchorage mechanical characteristics of the anchorage rock mass tend to remain stable. The coverage of the effective anchorage stress field and the thickness of the surrounding rock anchorage composite arch can be increased by increasing the bolt pretightening force and decreasing row spacing, consequently improving the anchorage mechanical characteristics of the anchorage rock mass. The research results can be used as a theoretical reference for choosing appropriate bolt support parameters for the roadway surrounding rock.
Due to improved mechanical properties, nano-alumina (NA) addition has been considered as an interesting method to promote the performance of cement composites. To investigate the enhancing effect of NA on the fire resistance of cement-based composites, the physical and mechanical properties of NA-modified cement composites (NAMCCs) were experimentally measured after exposure to high temperatures (up to 800 °C). The variation mechanism of the physical properties of NAMCCs with increasing temperature was explored using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. Increasing temperature leads to a gradual decrease in density and ultrasonic wave velocity but an overall increase in mass loss. The addition of NA particles effectively improved the mechanical properties of hardened cement pastes after heat treatment at all the temperatures studied. The compressive strength, elastic modulus and flexural strength all gradually decrease with increasing temperature. Combined with the changes in XRD and SEM, three regions are identified for the variation in mechanical performance in the temperature range of 20~400 °C, 400~600 °C and 600~800 °C. Finally, the relation between the physical and mechanical parameters of these regions was evaluated.
