In this paper, a unified rock bolt model is proposed and incorporated into the two-dimensional discontinuous deformation analysis. In the model, the bolt shank is discretized into a finite number of (modified) Euler–Bernoulli beam elements with the degrees of freedom represented at the end nodes, wh...
