Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Rock bolt diameter = 0.025
- Bolt ultimate tensile strength = 600000000
- Rock-bolt interface bond strength = 1500000
Expected Result:
- Load transfer length = 2.5
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Load transfer length = 2.5 m.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
load transfer length = (rock bolt diameter * bolt ultimate tensile strength) / (4 * rock-bolt interface bond strength)Formula family: formula_tunnel_rock_bolt_load_transfer_length_calculator
