Study on the Influencing Factors of Grouting Anchorage for Self-Drilling Bolts in Sandy Pebble Strata by Xiaojuan Gao, Mingchong Zhao, Chaosheng Wang, Xianglin Chen, Yugang Zhang

“…The results demonstrate that: fine particle content exerts the most significant impact on anchoring performance, with higher content reducing peak pullout resistance; the grout diffusion radius exhibits a positive correlation with grouting pressure but a negative correlation with drilling speed and grout viscosity, with viscosity having the strongest influence, followed by pressure and speed; the diffusion pattern follows a gradually decreasing trend along the drilling direction, while the radius increases at a diminishing rate with elevated pressure; when viscosity ranges from 83.3 to 833.3 mPa·s, the diffusion radius decreases by 72%; and multivariate regression analysis indicates a power function relationship between the diffusion radius and these three parameters.…”
