Abstract: Since anchoring technology is a key measure to enhance the deformation resistance of engineering structures, it is widely applied in bridges, dams, power transmission lines, and offshore platforms. The displacement of anchor bolts directly affects the deformation resistance of structures, and anchor bolts are frequently arranged at an inclination angle in engineering practice—this inclination angle significantly affects their displacement. However, existing anchor bolt displacement prediction models do not account for the influence of inclination angles. To address this gap, a novel displacement prediction model for inclined anchor bolts based on Mindlin’s solution is proposed in this paper. The validation with three experimental datasets shows that the model’s relative errors are within 5%. Even if minor measurement uncertainties regarding input parameters exist in practical engineering scenarios, the calculated displacement results will not undergo significant deviations. The anchor bolt displacement prediction model proposed in this paper may help scholars better understand the relationship between anchor bolt inclination angle and displacement.
