TEST WORK Summary
Moment Capacity development using Yield Line for a standard test panel
Ratio of thickness of test panel to design thickness (on the wall) give the Design Moment Capacity
Method allows a Characteristic Moment Capacity to be specified (cf Cube Strength)
Contribution of ObservationUNDERGROUND OBSERVATION
• Crack formation• Crack monitoring• Crack measurement
YIELD LINE METHOD
• Veracity CHECK• Crack patterns• Rock Loading
Observation
Cracking in shotcrete is due to different mechanismsFlexure or Bending (moment)Punching shearAdhesion lossDirect shearAxial force (tension)
Sometimes difficult to categorize on the wall Long term monitoring required
Observation 2 Look for patterns which resemble expected yield lines Take into account the in-plane axial (tensile) force
component Locate areas of shear dislocation Ultimately
Looking for yield line patterns

Contribution of Structural AnalysisSTRUCTURAL

Contribution of Structural Analysis
YIELD LINE METHOD
Why YIELD LINEOne of the PLASTIC suite of methodsBased on Elastic Perfectly plastic behaviourAllows redistribution of stress
Relatively simple analysis methodDirectly integrated with designEconomical (less reinforcement/m2)VersatileClosed-form solution (cf FE, FD, BE numerical
methods)
Yield Line Basics
External Work Done = Internal Work Done WD by Loads moving = WD by YL rotating
Simply supportedStatically determinate
vContinuous beamsStatically indeterminate
HINGE LOAD
Unit Displacement = δ
P (Load)
Lever Arm = L/2
Rotation = 2θ
θ Pδ = 4mθPδ = 2mθ
Upper Bound Theorem
Any arbitrary crack pattern gives a design moment less than the maximum for a given load
Require MAXIMUM moment from all possible crack patterns
Continuous Slab

Conclusions 1 Shotcrete Moment Capacity
Peak Moment Capacity reliably estimated for RDP PanelsSteel fibre in particular
Unreinforced panels give highly variable resultsMoment capacity reliably increases with fibre density/mesh areaResidual Moment capacities can be estimated using the same
method (see following paper)Actual underground capacities are variable
Dependant of local rock geometry and shotcrete application
Conclusions 2 Shotcrete Moment Demand
Rock load influenced by the crack patternEspecially in irregular rock wall geometries
Select crack pattern to give lowest moment of resistanceConventional Yield Line Design = 15% ruleShotcrete Yield Line Design = 50% rule (suggested)
Yield Line methods used advantageouslyCalculation of Shotcrete capacity (strength)Calculation of Shotcrete demand (moment/load)
