Finite element modelling of rockbolts and reinforcing elements

The aim of this research was to produce a generic rockbolt model for inclusion in two and three dimensional explicit finite element analyses of mining problems. Installation of rockbolts is completely automated. Algorithms for the automatic placement of rockbolt nodes within continuum elements are d...
