AIMS AND BACKGROUND The slope stability problems in geotechnical engineering applications occur in both soil and rock domains. While there is some similarity in the stability analysis of such domains, the inherent characteristics of the comprising materials will necessitate implementing appropriate tools and measures for the specific problems. For instance, engineers need to account for the blocky nature of rock in some projects that causes a medium to behave as a rather discrete domain. As it is the engineers’ responsibility to design a rock slope so that no hazard would threaten safety of the users, the knowledge employed in such projects is quite indispensable to us. That being said, this proposal aims at investigating the numerical simulation of rock bolt practice which can potentially benefit the student in the professional environment. 3. PROPOSED PROJECT QUALITY AND INNOVATION (if any) In this work, the numerical modelling of rock bolting will be tried out which is a pivotal activity in projects conducted in cracked-rock domains. This is specifically important as the stabilization of roadside slopes is an issue that needs to be addressed in the region. The following should be included in the research paper. 1-Abstract (1 page). 2-Introduction (5 pages): general information on rock bolts, what are the important points of rock bolts, for mountains and tunnels, problem statement, and numerical simulation especially (FEM) and data (limitation). 3-Literature review (10 pages): start from old to new publication starts from 20-30 years. What they have done and so on. 4-Methodology (5 pages): how they reach to the point, numerical simulation, software use. 5-Result and discussion (10pages):
