Abstract:
The anchor bolt (cable) is commonly used in slope reinforcement, and the anchoring angle is a key pa?
rameter of the design that affects both slope stability and engineering costs. In this paper, a calculation expression for the optimal angle of the anchor bolt (cable) used in a tunnel portal slope was proposed based on a comprehensive analysis of the effects of the anchoring angle on slope stability; the practicability of this calculation expression is verified by a project case.
