Under natural conditions, joint failure usually occurs after long-term loading rather than short-term loading. In order to prevent rock mass failure caused by creep behavior, bolt is widely used as a mature and effective reinforcement method. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the rheological effect of bolted joint. In this paper, the particle flow code (PFC) was used to study the effect of mesoparameters on the rheological shear mechanical behavior of joints without bolts and with bolts. The effects of mesoparameters such as Maxwell elasti...
