  1. THE USE OF YIELD LINE ANALYSIS AND PANEL TESTS FOR THE DESIGN OF SHOTCRETEbyWC JOUGHIN* and GC HOWELL**SRK Consulting, Johannesburg* Principal Mining Engineer * Principal Geotechnical Civil Engineer

  2. Presentation Summary • Information available from Test Work • Observation of crack formation • Requirements of Analysis Methods • Relationship between CAPACITY and DEMAND • Yield Line method and how it is used • Integration into the ShotcreteDesign Method • Summary and Conclusions

  3. Shotcrete Design Schema TEST WORK • Cube Tests • Fibre Density • EFNARC Panels • RDP tests • STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS • Loads • Moments • Shear force • Torsion UNDERGROUND OBSERVATION • Crack formation • Crack monitoring • Crack measurement YIELD LINE METHOD • Characteristic Strength • Allowable Moment • Moment CAPACITY • Load/moment relationship • Load DEMAND • Moment DEMAND • Veracity CHECK • Crack patterns • Rock Loading SHOTCRETE DESIGN • Factor of Safety (Capacity/Demand) • Probability/Reliability (p(D – C) < 1.0)

  4. Contribution of TEST WORK TEST WORK • Cube Tests • Fibre Density • EFNARC Panels • RDP tests YIELD LINE METHOD • Characteristic Strength • Allowable Moment • Moment CAPACITY

  5. EFNARC TEST WORK where: Wpe is the peak load (kN) from Yield Line mpe = Wpe/8 LOAD Wpe Yield Line Pattern EFNARC TEST RIG

  6. EFNARC TEST WORK Figure 8: Example of EFNARC test results for steel fibre reinforced shotcrete (70 kg/m3)

  7. ASTM RDP TEST WORK from Yield Line mpe = Wpe/5.54 Point support LOAD Wpe Point support Point support Yield Line Pattern RDP TEST RIG

  8. ASTM RDP TEST WORK Peak Load – Crack Formation “Elastic” Energy Absorption “Plastic” Energy Absorption Figure 9: Example of ASTM C1550 RDP test results for steel fibre reinforced shotcrete (70 kg/m3)

  9. 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)

  10. Contribution of Observation UNDERGROUND OBSERVATION • Crack formation • Crack monitoring • Crack measurement YIELD LINE METHOD • Veracity CHECK • Crack patterns • Rock Loading

  11. Observation • Cracking in shotcrete is due to different mechanisms • Flexure or Bending (moment) • Punching shear • Adhesion loss • Direct shear • Axial force (tension) • Sometimes difficult to categorize on the wall • Long term monitoring required

  12. 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

  14. Contribution of Structural Analysis • STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS • Loads • Moments • Shear force • Torsion YIELD LINE METHOD • Load/moment relationship • Load DEMAND • Moment DEMAND

  15. Structural Analysis • Develop relationship between • DEMAND (load) • CAPACITY (strength) • Moment Capacity • Panel tests • Moment Demand • Rock Loading • Dead weight – simple prism • Quasi Static – relationship with deformation • Rock Mass Assessment - Q • Dynamic – Energy absorption method

  16. Contribution of Structural Analysis • Why YIELD LINE • One of the PLASTIC suite of methods • Based on Elastic Perfectly plastic behaviour • Allows redistribution of stress • Relatively simple analysis method • Directly integrated with design • Economical (less reinforcement/m2) • Versatile • Closed-form solution (cf FE, FD, BE numerical methods) YIELD LINE METHOD

  17. Yield Line Basics HINGE LOAD v • External Work Done = Internal Work Done • WD by Loads moving = WD by YL rotating Simply supported Statically determinate Continuous beams Statically indeterminate Lever Arm = L/2 P (Load) Pδ = 2mθ Pδ = 4mθ θ Rotation = 2θ Unit Displacement = δ

  18. 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

  19. Continuous Slab • Yield line moment for a given load w • From SANS 0100 (Concrete Design Code) md = wab/48 Md average = wab/36.5 Figure 2: Yield Line Pattern for a rectangular panel

  20. Fan Mechanism • Fan Mechanism md = P/12.56 Figure 3: Yield line pattern for the fan mechanism

  21. Combined Mechanism Figure 4: Yield Line Pattern for a combined mechanism panel Figure 4: Yield Line Pattern for a combined mechanism panel

  22. Triangular Mechanism • Triangular Mechanism • Compare with Rectangular Mechanism • 1/144 : 1/48 = 66% economy md = wc2/144 md = wab/48 Figure 5: Yield Line Pattern for a triangular mechanism

  23. Shotcrete Design Schema TEST WORK • Cube Tests • Fibre Density • EFNARC Panels • RDP tests • STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS • Loads • Moments • Shear force • Torsion UNDERGROUND OBSERVATION • Crack formation • Crack monitoring • Crack measurement YIELD LINE METHOD • Characteristic Strength • Allowable Moment • Moment CAPACITY • Load/moment relationship • Load DEMAND • Moment DEMAND • Veracity CHECK • Crack patterns • Rock Loading SHOTCRETE DESIGN • Factor of Safety (Capacity/Demand) • Probability/Reliability (p(D – C) < 1.0)

  24. Conclusions 1 • Shotcrete Moment Capacity • Peak Moment Capacity reliably estimated for RDP Panels • Steel fibre in particular • Unreinforced panels give highly variable results • Moment capacity reliably increases with fibredensity/mesh area • Residual 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

  25. Conclusions 2 • Shotcrete Moment Demand • Rock load influenced by the crack pattern • Especially in irregular rock wall geometries • Select crack pattern to give lowest moment of resistance • Conventional Yield Line Design = 15% rule • Shotcrete Yield Line Design = 50% rule (suggested) • Yield Line methods used advantageously • Calculation of Shotcrete capacity (strength) • Calculation of Shotcretedemand (moment/load)
