Laboratory Model Test Research on Mechanical Characteristics of Anchor in Loess Tunnel under the Action of Pull-Out Load by Zhongming Su, Jianxun Chen, Yanbin Luo, Xin He

“…It is proposed that the maximum shear stress of loess anchor under the action of pull-out load appears in the section 25 times the anchor diameter from the anchor head, and the shear stress in the middle and rear part of the anchor body can only be brought into full play when the length-to-diameter ratio of the anchor body is 110 or more. …”
