“…(ii) study on the effects of external load, that is, considering the stress state (tension, compression, shear), loading, unloading, and the creep of the bolt according to the engineering site [11,12]; (iii) study on the effects of the nature of the bolt itself, such as type, size (diameter, length), row spacing, pretightening force, and the spatial distribution position of multiple bolts [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Some contributed results have been obtained: in terms of the bolting mechanisms, Kang [19,20] considered that the main function of bolt support on surrounding rock is to control the separation, sliding, cracking, and dilatancy deformation of rock mass in the anchorage zone and put forward the corresponding key bearing ring theory.…”
