Advantages & Considerations of SDA Bolts in Tunnel
Time:2023-10-31From:sinorock View:
Self-drilling anchor bolt system, which combines drilling, grouting, and anchoring together, can availably promote construction efficiency and is mainly used for tunnel and underground engineering, slope engineering, and ground and foundation engineering. Since the self-drilling anchor bolt system can effectively improve soil and rock stability, it is also very suitable for initial tunnel support.1. Benefits of Self-Drilling Anchor Bolts
When it comes to tunnel and underground engineering, self-drilling anchor bolts offer a multitude of advantages that significantly benefit construction projects:
1.1. Reduced Need for Specialized Equipment
The primary advantage is the reduced need for expensive drilling equipment, resulting in substantial cost savings.
1.2. Efficient Installation Process
Self-drilling anchor bolts boast a fast and efficient installation process, saving both time and labor costs.
1.3. Corrosion and Abrasion Resistance
These bolts are highly resistant to corrosion and abrasion, ensuring long-term performance in harsh underground conditions.

1.4. Adaptability to Soil Types
Self-drilling anchor bolts are specially designed to penetrate even the most challenging soils, making them highly flexible and useful in a variety of engineering designs.
1.5. Easy Inspection and Maintenance
The installation process minimizes disturbance to surrounding soil, making inspections and maintenance straightforward.
2. Application in Challenging Geological Conditions
In the challenging ecological and harsh natural environments encountered in tunnel and underground construction, self-drilling anchor bolts play a critical role in strengthening soil mass. These bolts are essential to ensure the structural stability and safety of construction projects in these demanding conditions. To successfully apply self-drilling anchor bolts, several critical considerations must be taken into account during the construction process:
2.1. Loose Rocks and Anchoring
Loose rocks may fall during cleaning operations, creating challenges for workers during the anchoring process.
2.2. Safety on Muck Banks and Frames
Special attention must be paid to safety when working on muck banks or frames.
2.3. Cooperation and Temporary Support
Workers should cooperate effectively, and temporary support should not be removed until the steel frame is adequately connected with the self-drilling anchor bolts.
2.4. Addressing Deformation and Cracking
Effective remedial measures should be taken in response to deformation or cracking during drilling and grouting, depending on the rock conditions.

2.5. Grout Pressure and Nozzle Safety
Workers should closely monitor the grout pressure gauge during the filling process. Special measures should be taken if the pressure indication is too high. Moreover, the grouting pipe nozzle should not be directed towards individuals.
2.6. Strict Adherence to Operating Procedures
Workers should strictly follow the operation procedure to minimize the risk of security accidents.
Conclusion
Self-drilling anchor bolts offer a comprehensive solution to the challenges encountered in tunnel and underground engineering. Their cost-saving features, efficiency, adaptability, and resistance to environmental conditions make them invaluable in ensuring the stability and longevity of construction projects in demanding geological settings. However, it is essential to address safety and operational considerations to maximize the benefits of self-drilling anchor bolts in construction projects. For example, safety measures must be taken when working on loose rocks, on muck banks or frames, during cooperation and temporary support, and when addressing deformation and cracking. Workers should also follow strict operating procedures to minimize the risk of accidents.
