1 Introduction
e bolt support technology has been developed for morethan a century since it was first used in the North Walesopen-air shale mine in 1872 in the UK [1] Due to its ad-vantages such as low cost simple operation and less con-struction space it has been widely used in surfaceengineering and underground chamber construction inmining tunnels slopes deep soil rock foundation pits andso forth [2ndash4] In recent years with the development ofcorresponding science and technology the demand for coalresources in industry and human life is still urgent eshallow coal resources have gradually dried up Deep miningwill therefore play more and more important roles in thecoal mining engineering [5] However deep wells lead to
more complex geological conditions in the working face andhigh ground stress Hence mining in the coal layer canseverely affect the stability of the surrounding rock of theroadway and cause serious damage [6ndash9] As shown inFigure 1 the bolt will fail to support the roadway ereforethe requirements for the surrounding rock support tech-nology of the roadway are getting higher and higher and it isnecessary to optimize the design of the parameters of thesupporting bolt the main support equipment
Many experts and scholars at home and abroad haveconducted systematic researches on the bolt support tech-nology Li [10] developed a new type of bolt support deviceand experimentally verified the performance and reliabilityof the new bolt support device in three mines Charette andPlouffe [11] proposed a bolt with constant resistance which

is suitable for soft rock roadway support Jager [12] designedan energy-absorbing bolt device Varden et al [13] putforward a new type of bolt support equipment for thegeological conditions of the Kanowna Belle mine and testedits mechanical properties using the Kalgoorlie dynamic testequipment at University of Minnesota in Australia
Based on the elastic theory Gu et al [14] established acoordinated deformation model of surrounding rock andsolids (rock and bolt complex) and proposed a method forevaluating the stability of the surrounding rock Based on theasymmetrical assumption of lane strain Wu et al [15]established the equilibrium equation and compatibilityequation of a bolt-rock system and obtained the analyticalsolution of the coupled model e influences of bolt androck properties on the transmission of the reinforcementeffect in the rock were revealed Wang et al [16] developed astatic-dynamic loading test system e system wasemployed to implement the static tensile tests of equal-strength and non-equal-strength rebar bolts and the dy-namic impact tests with or without prestress Zou et al [17]presented a strategy for excavating circular roadways inbrittle and soft rocks with bolt support and established anevolution equation of the surrounding rocks with boltsupportWang et al [18] adopted the discrete mechanics andfriction coupling (DMFC) to study the spatiotemporalevolution of the mechanical properties of the bolts andsurrounding rocks In their theoretical model the Maxwellmodel was used to describe the surrounding rock and theKelvin model was used to describe the characteristics of thebolt Hu and Chen [19] deduced the vibration properties ofbolts subject to blasting seismic waves
It can be found from the above literature review thatcoupled bolt-rock system is a sophisticated coupled me-chanical system Key parameters of the anchor bolts havesignificant and complex influences on the mechanical be-haviors of the coupled system Numerous example analyseswill be needed if the sensitivities of all the key parameters ofthe bolts are equally studied Moreover the most useful toolto calculate the static responses of these coupled systems isnumerical software such as FLAC3D which can be time-consuming Fortunately various orthogonal experimental
methods were developed to perform the multiparameteranalysis and widely used in parameter optimization formaterial processing hydraulic machines mechanical designand so on To date few literatures have been published onthe parameter optimization of the bolts with orthogonalexperimental methods
Motivated by this the authors tried to develop a unifiedparameter optimization procedure for the coupled bolt-rocksystems by using the orthogonal experimental methodsConvergence of surrounding rock surface and deformationsin the rock are taken as the objective functions e keysupport parameters of the bolt are considered as inputvariables e simulation software FLAC3D is employed todevelop the mechanical model for the coupled bolt-rocksystem and the objective functions of the coupled system aretherefore obtained in the software Combining the varianceand multivariate linear regression analysis an approach isderived to investigate the sensitivity of the support pa-rameters e corresponding support parameters are thenoptimized In order to validate the proposed method and todemonstrate its robust performance a working face of apractical mine in Yangquan is taken as a numerical exampleand a corresponding experiment is carried out
2 Numerical Simulation
21 Numerical Modeling FLAC3D is a powerful tool tocalculate the stress and plastic flow of the soil and rockmaterials erefore FLAC3D is also adopted to establish thesimulation model in this paper as shown in Figure 2
e empty part is utilized to simulate the roadwayDuring the excavation process the Mohr-Coulomb con-stitutive model [20] is employed for the coal and rock asshown in equation (1) e section of the roadway is formedat the same time and the joints and faults in the rockformation are not considered e explicit Lagrangian al-gorithm and hybrid-discrete partitioning technique are usedfor plastic failure and flow of the coal and rock in the model

where M is the maximum principal stress N is the minimumprincipal stress M is the unconfined compressive strength ofthe rock measured by triaxial compression experiments
e physical andmechanical parameters of coal and rockmass were obtained by laboratory tests According to [21]the elastic modulus cohesion and tensile strength param-eters of coal and rock mass during the simulation experi-ment were taken as 16 of the laboratory test resultsPoissonrsquos ratio is 125 times of the laboratory test results
As for the supporting parts the cable element is used tosimulate the bolt and cables and the beam element isemployed for the steel belt e connection between thenode and zone at the head of the cable is automaticallyestablished e bolt trays are simulated with rigid chainse free section and the bolting section of the bolts aredistinguished by setting different parameterse pretensionforce is applied to the free section of the bolt (cable) [20]
With regard to the boundary conditions of the modelthe normal displacements of the front back left and rightrock surfaces in the model are restrained e bottom of themodel is fixed for displacements in all three directions
22 Determination of the Compensation Load Since thepractical coal and rocks considered in this paper have infinitelength it is impossible to model the whole part of the coal androcks in FLAC3D and the larger the mechanical model is themore time will be consumed for the calculation Fortunatelywith proper self-weight stress added relatively accurate resultscan be obtained when only a part of the rock mass is con-sidered and this paper is focused on the coupling between thebolt (cable) and rocks (coal) us a finite length model isdeveloped and compensation load for self-weight of the rocksunconsidered in the mechanical model is also introduced[22ndash24] as shown in Figure 3 H is the distance from theground surface to the model surface in the vertical direction
e added self-weight stress σzminusCompensation in the verticaldirection may be expressed in the following equation

i1ci times Hi (2)
where ci is the bulk density of each coal rock i 1 2 3 Hi is the thickness of each coal rock layer with total lengthH
In the calculation it is necessary not only to apply the self-weight stress in the vertical direction but also to compensate forthe horizontal and lateral stresses σx and σy According to thegeneralized Hookersquos law [25 26] the corresponding rela-tionship between the self-weight stress in the other two di-rections and the vertical stress can be defined as

3 Orthogonal Experiment Design andParameter Sensitivity Analysis Method
31 Orthogonal Experimental Design According to theexisting research [27] 5 parameters of the bolt haveconsiderable influences on the stability of the surroundingrock of the roadway If the effects of the 5 parameters aretested one by one more than 7000 experimental schemesare required which can be expressive Moreover thesensitivity of the parameters to the objective functionscannot be comprehensively studied e orthogonal ex-periment provides a robust way to select some repre-sentative factors and levels from the comprehensiveexperiments for profound investigations [28ndash30] eserepresentative experiments have the characteristics ofldquouniform dispersion and neat comparisonrdquo [31] whichcan significantly reduce the experiment quantity and thesensitivity of the parameters to the objective functions canalso be obtained
erefore the L16 (45) orthogonal table is employed todesign the orthogonal experiment scheme 4 levels are

According to the supporting mechanism of bolts andcables to the surrounding rock of the roadway the con-vergence of the roof surface of the mining roadway anddeformations in the rock (2m away from the roadway roof)are taken as the objective functions to be optimized in thedesigned orthogonal experiments
32 Parameter Sensitivity Analysis Method

322 Multiple Linear Regression Analysis Supposing thatthe objective function and the selected parameters for eachexperiment are yi and xij respectively wherei 1 2 3 n j 1 2 3 m and m is the number ofthe selected parameters the relationship between yi and xi
can be defined as [29]

Based on the elastic theory Gu et al [14] established acoordinated deformation model of surrounding rock andsolids (rock and bolt complex) and proposed a method forevaluating the stability of the surrounding rock Based on theasymmetrical assumption of lane strain Wu et al [15]established the equilibrium equation and compatibilityequation of a bolt-rock system and obtained the analyticalsolution of the coupled model e influences of bolt androck properties on the transmission of the reinforcementeffect in the rock were revealed Wang et al [16] developed astatic-dynamic loading test system e system wasemployed to implement the static tensile tests of equal-strength and non-equal-strength rebar bolts and the dy-namic impact tests with or without prestress Zou et al [17]presented a strategy for excavating circular roadways inbrittle and soft rocks with bolt support and established anevolution equation of the surrounding rocks with boltsupportWang et al [18] adopted the discrete mechanics andfriction coupling (DMFC) to study the spatiotemporalevolution of the mechanical properties of the bolts andsurrounding rocks In their theoretical model the Maxwellmodel was used to describe the surrounding rock and theKelvin model was used to describe the characteristics of thebolt Hu and Chen [19] deduced the vibration properties ofbolts subject to blasting seismic waves
It can be found from the above literature review thatcoupled bolt-rock system is a sophisticated coupled me-chanical system Key parameters of the anchor bolts havesignificant and complex influences on the mechanical be-haviors of the coupled system Numerous example analyseswill be needed if the sensitivities of all the key parameters ofthe bolts are equally studied Moreover the most useful toolto calculate the static responses of these coupled systems isnumerical software such as FLAC3D which can be time-consuming Fortunately various orthogonal experimental
methods were developed to perform the multiparameteranalysis and widely used in parameter optimization formaterial processing hydraulic machines mechanical designand so on To date few literatures have been published onthe parameter optimization of the bolts with orthogonalexperimental methods
Motivated by this the authors tried to develop a unifiedparameter optimization procedure for the coupled bolt-rocksystems by using the orthogonal experimental methodsConvergence of surrounding rock surface and deformationsin the rock are taken as the objective functions e keysupport parameters of the bolt are considered as inputvariables e simulation software FLAC3D is employed todevelop the mechanical model for the coupled bolt-rocksystem and the objective functions of the coupled system aretherefore obtained in the software Combining the varianceand multivariate linear regression analysis an approach isderived to investigate the sensitivity of the support pa-rameters e corresponding support parameters are thenoptimized In order to validate the proposed method and todemonstrate its robust performance a working face of apractical mine in Yangquan is taken as a numerical exampleand a corresponding experiment is carried out

21 Numerical Modeling FLAC3D is a powerful tool tocalculate the stress and plastic flow of the soil and rockmaterials erefore FLAC3D is also adopted to establish thesimulation model in this paper as shown in Figure 2

where M is the maximum principal stress N is the minimumprincipal stress M is the unconfined compressive strength ofthe rock measured by triaxial compression experiments
e physical andmechanical parameters of coal and rockmass were obtained by laboratory tests According to [21]the elastic modulus cohesion and tensile strength param-eters of coal and rock mass during the simulation experi-ment were taken as 16 of the laboratory test resultsPoissonrsquos ratio is 125 times of the laboratory test results
As for the supporting parts the cable element is used tosimulate the bolt and cables and the beam element isemployed for the steel belt e connection between thenode and zone at the head of the cable is automaticallyestablished e bolt trays are simulated with rigid chainse free section and the bolting section of the bolts aredistinguished by setting different parameterse pretensionforce is applied to the free section of the bolt (cable) [20]
With regard to the boundary conditions of the modelthe normal displacements of the front back left and rightrock surfaces in the model are restrained e bottom of themodel is fixed for displacements in all three directions
22 Determination of the Compensation Load Since thepractical coal and rocks considered in this paper have infinitelength it is impossible to model the whole part of the coal androcks in FLAC3D and the larger the mechanical model is themore time will be consumed for the calculation Fortunatelywith proper self-weight stress added relatively accurate resultscan be obtained when only a part of the rock mass is con-sidered and this paper is focused on the coupling between thebolt (cable) and rocks (coal) us a finite length model isdeveloped and compensation load for self-weight of the rocksunconsidered in the mechanical model is also introduced[22ndash24] as shown in Figure 3 H is the distance from theground surface to the model surface in the vertical direction

where ci is the bulk density of each coal rock i 1 2 3 Hi is the thickness of each coal rock layer with total lengthH
In the calculation it is necessary not only to apply the self-weight stress in the vertical direction but also to compensate forthe horizontal and lateral stresses σx and σy According to thegeneralized Hookersquos law [25 26] the corresponding rela-tionship between the self-weight stress in the other two di-rections and the vertical stress can be defined as

e physical andmechanical parameters of coal and rockmass were obtained by laboratory tests According to [21]the elastic modulus cohesion and tensile strength param-eters of coal and rock mass during the simulation experi-ment were taken as 16 of the laboratory test resultsPoissonrsquos ratio is 125 times of the laboratory test results
As for the supporting parts the cable element is used tosimulate the bolt and cables and the beam element isemployed for the steel belt e connection between thenode and zone at the head of the cable is automaticallyestablished e bolt trays are simulated with rigid chainse free section and the bolting section of the bolts aredistinguished by setting different parameterse pretensionforce is applied to the free section of the bolt (cable) [20]
With regard to the boundary conditions of the modelthe normal displacements of the front back left and rightrock surfaces in the model are restrained e bottom of themodel is fixed for displacements in all three directions
22 Determination of the Compensation Load Since thepractical coal and rocks considered in this paper have infinitelength it is impossible to model the whole part of the coal androcks in FLAC3D and the larger the mechanical model is themore time will be consumed for the calculation Fortunatelywith proper self-weight stress added relatively accurate resultscan be obtained when only a part of the rock mass is con-sidered and this paper is focused on the coupling between thebolt (cable) and rocks (coal) us a finite length model isdeveloped and compensation load for self-weight of the rocksunconsidered in the mechanical model is also introduced[22ndash24] as shown in Figure 3 H is the distance from theground surface to the model surface in the vertical direction

where ci is the bulk density of each coal rock i 1 2 3 Hi is the thickness of each coal rock layer with total lengthH
In the calculation it is necessary not only to apply the self-weight stress in the vertical direction but also to compensate forthe horizontal and lateral stresses σx and σy According to thegeneralized Hookersquos law [25 26] the corresponding rela-tionship between the self-weight stress in the other two di-rections and the vertical stress can be defined as

3 Orthogonal Experiment Design andParameter Sensitivity Analysis Method
31 Orthogonal Experimental Design According to theexisting research [27] 5 parameters of the bolt haveconsiderable influences on the stability of the surroundingrock of the roadway If the effects of the 5 parameters aretested one by one more than 7000 experimental schemesare required which can be expressive Moreover thesensitivity of the parameters to the objective functionscannot be comprehensively studied e orthogonal ex-periment provides a robust way to select some repre-sentative factors and levels from the comprehensiveexperiments for profound investigations [28ndash30] eserepresentative experiments have the characteristics ofldquouniform dispersion and neat comparisonrdquo [31] whichcan significantly reduce the experiment quantity and thesensitivity of the parameters to the objective functions canalso be obtained

42 Analysis of Variance of Experimental ResultsAccording to the modeling method in Section 21 a me-chanical model for the 15106 working face is developed inFLAC3D as shown in Figure 6 e entire model size isdesigned to be 100m 100m and 37m in the x y and zdirections respectively e mechanical parameters of eachlayer of coal and rock are set according to the geologicalparameters in Figure 5e average coal-rockmass Poissonrsquosratio is 03 and the average bulk density of the rock layer is18 tm3 According to equations (2)sim(4) the verticalcompensation load is 7174 tm3 and the compensationloads in other directions applied in the calculations are 307 tm3
e convergence of surrounding rock surface anddeformation in the rock of the roadway roof aremonitored at 24 different positions in which 12monitoring points are uniformly distributed on thesurrounding rock surface and 12 other monitoringpoints are evenly located in the rock surface 2 mapart from the surrounding rock surface All moni-toring points are at the center-line position of theroadway roof and the distance between two adjacentmonitoring points is 05 m as shown in Figure 7
Table 3 shows the variance analysis of the experimentalresults of the convergence of surrounding rock surface of theroadway roof with different bolt support parameters Basedon the definition of significance of a factor in Table 2 thesignificance of the bolt distance between two rows for theobjective functions is highe bolt preload and bolt spacingare generally highly significant while the bolt length andhorizontal angle are generally significant
Table 4 shows the variance analysis of the experimentalresults for the deformations in the rock of the roadway roofwith various bolt support parameters Based on the defi-nition of significance of a factor in Table 2 the influences ofthe bolt distance between two rows and the bolt preload onthe deformations in the deep rock are generally highlysignificant e effect of bolt length is relatively remarkablewhile the effects of the horizontal angle of the bolts and boltspacing are generally significant

error of 1206 compared with the experimental results andthe numerical results for the A1B1C4D4E4 support schemehave a maximum error of 1233 compared with the ex-perimental results e distributions of the numerical resultsin the roadway trend directions agree well with those of theexperimental results Overall the accuracy and reliability ofthe mechanical simulations in this paper are validated
Moreover it can be seen that the maximum convergenceof surrounding rock surface at the center-line position of theroof for the A1B1C4D4E4 support scheme is reduced by1156mm compared with that for the A2B1C2D3E4 supportscheme e bolt support following the A1B1C4D4E4support scheme can significantly decrease the convergenceof surrounding rock surface and help maintain the stability
of the surrounding rock of the roadway Hence it isdemonstrated that the proposed method can be successfullyemployed to optimize the bolt support parameters

is paper focuses on the sensitivity of the convergence ofsurrounding rock surface and deformations in the deep rockof the roadways to the bolt support parameters Mechanicalmodels for the rock-bolt coupled systems are developed andnumerical simulations are performed in FLAC3D e or-thogonal experimental method is used to design the ex-perimental scheme and the numerical results are analyzedby the analysis of variance A multivariate linear regressionanalysis model of the bolt support parameters is establishedand the influences of the key parameters of the bolts arequantified e support parameters of the bolt are thereforeoptimized Finally corresponding simulation experimentsare designed and implemented to validate the proposedmechanical model and optimal method
It is found that the bolt spacing and the bolt distancebetween two rows are positively related to the stability of thesurrounding rock of the roadway roof while the anchorlength the horizontal angle of the bolt and the bolt preloadare in a negative correlation with the stability of the sur-rounding rock of the roadway roof e best solution forsupporting the surrounding rock of the roadway by boltsamong the more than 7000 cases listed in Table 1 is theA1B1C4D4E4 support scheme e maximum error

error of 1206 compared with the experimental results andthe numerical results for the A1B1C4D4E4 support schemehave a maximum error of 1233 compared with the ex-perimental results e distributions of the numerical resultsin the roadway trend directions agree well with those of theexperimental results Overall the accuracy and reliability ofthe mechanical simulations in this paper are validated
Moreover it can be seen that the maximum convergenceof surrounding rock surface at the center-line position of theroof for the A1B1C4D4E4 support scheme is reduced by1156mm compared with that for the A2B1C2D3E4 supportscheme e bolt support following the A1B1C4D4E4support scheme can significantly decrease the convergenceof surrounding rock surface and help maintain the stability

6 Conclusion
is paper focuses on the sensitivity of the convergence ofsurrounding rock surface and deformations in the deep rockof the roadways to the bolt support parameters Mechanicalmodels for the rock-bolt coupled systems are developed andnumerical simulations are performed in FLAC3D e or-thogonal experimental method is used to design the ex-perimental scheme and the numerical results are analyzedby the analysis of variance A multivariate linear regressionanalysis model of the bolt support parameters is establishedand the influences of the key parameters of the bolts arequantified e support parameters of the bolt are thereforeoptimized Finally corresponding simulation experimentsare designed and implemented to validate the proposedmechanical model and optimal method
It is found that the bolt spacing and the bolt distancebetween two rows are positively related to the stability of thesurrounding rock of the roadway roof while the anchorlength the horizontal angle of the bolt and the bolt preloadare in a negative correlation with the stability of the sur-rounding rock of the roadway roof e best solution forsupporting the surrounding rock of the roadway by boltsamong the more than 7000 cases listed in Table 1 is theA1B1C4D4E4 support scheme e maximum error

error of 1206 compared with the experimental results andthe numerical results for the A1B1C4D4E4 support schemehave a maximum error of 1233 compared with the ex-perimental results e distributions of the numerical resultsin the roadway trend directions agree well with those of theexperimental results Overall the accuracy and reliability ofthe mechanical simulations in this paper are validated
Moreover it can be seen that the maximum convergenceof surrounding rock surface at the center-line position of theroof for the A1B1C4D4E4 support scheme is reduced by1156mm compared with that for the A2B1C2D3E4 supportscheme e bolt support following the A1B1C4D4E4support scheme can significantly decrease the convergenceof surrounding rock surface and help maintain the stability
of the surrounding rock of the roadway Hence it isdemonstrated that the proposed method can be successfullyemployed to optimize the bolt support parameters
6 Conclusion

Moreover an appropriate amount of 45 mesh micapowder is added as natural bedding and 10 mesh micapowder is used as interlayer fractures and joints After themodel is naturally dried the surrounding baffle is removedfor further drying treatment During the drying process anappropriate amount of watering treatment is performedevery 12 hours to prevent the model from cracking due toexternal factors such as temperature changes After 10 daysof maintenance the experimental test work can be carriedout Figure 6 shows the experimental model
In order to simultaneously validate the accuracy of themechanical model and the robust performance of theproposed method to optimize the support parameters twocases with support parameters A1B1C4D4E4 andA2B1C2D3E4 are analyzed with both similar simulationexperiments and numerical simulations e experimentalmodel has two experimental roadways e No 1 experi-mental roadway is used to simulate the A1B1C4D4E4scheme support and the No 2 experimental roadway is usedto simulate the A2B1C2D3E4 scheme support e roadwaylayout is shown in Figure 8
In the similar simulation experiment φ19 fuse is used tosimulate the bolt and φ22 fuse is used for the anchor cablePolyvinyl acetate emulsion is taken as the anchoring agent A10mm times 10mm times 05mm iron sheet metal is employed forthe bolt tray At the same time special pliers are used toapply the preload bolting force of the blots To ensure theaccuracy of the experiment there is a 100m (actual 4m) coalpillar for the practical boundary condition at the front of theworking face As shown in Figure 9(a) there are 32 cables in4 rows and 16 bolts in 2 rows in the roof of the roadway Atotal of 6 rows of 36 simulated bolts are arranged on the leftand right sides as shown in Figure 9(c) As shown inFigure 9(a) 28 displacement sensors are employed in theexperiment to measure the deformation of the roadway roofe miniature round tube self-resetting KSP-25mm dis-placement sensor produced by Shenzhen Milang Tech-nology Co Ltd is taken as the displacement sensor asshown in Figure 9(b) e main technical parameters of thedisplacement sensor are shown in Table 6
