SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF GSI BASED MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ROCK MASS (2012)
The aim of this paper is the sensitivity analysis of GSI and disturbance factor dependent equations that characterize the mechanical properties of rock masses. The survey of the GSI system is not our purpose. The results show that the rock mass strength calculated ...

APPLICATION OF MODIFIED HOEK-BROWN TRANSITION RELATIONSHIPS FOR ASSESSING STRENGTH AND POST YIELD BEHAVIOUR AT BOTH ENDS OF THE ROCK COMPETENCE SCALE (2008)
In this paper several case examples are presented to illustrate the application of the high-end (spalling) and low-end (weak ground) transition Hoek-Brown relationships proposed by Carter, Diederichs and Carvalho, (2007) as a basis for better defining rock ...

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MECHANICS IN ROCK MECHANICS AND THE GEOLOGY IN ENGINEERING GEOLOGY (2008)
This paper questions the application of rock mass classification systems in engineering geology problems.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOEK-BROWN FAILURE CRITERION (2007)
Hoek E. et al.  
<p>In this paper the historical development of the Hoek-Brown failure criterion and the associated Geological Strength Index (GSI) has been presented.</p>

LIMIT ANALYSIS SOLUTIONS FOR THE BEARING CAPACITY OF ROCK MASSES USING THE GENERALISED HOEK–BROWN CRITERION (2006)
<p>This paper applies numerical limit analyses to evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity of a surface footing resting on a rock mass whose strength can be described by the generalised Hoek&ndash;Brown failure criterion [Hoek E, Carranza-Torres C, Corkum B. ...

HOEK-BROWN FAILURE CRITERION: 2002 EDITION (2002)
<p>In this paper in order to overcome the difficulty of finding an acceptable equivalent friction angle and cohesive strength for a rock mass the program called "RocLab" is introduced, as a convenient means of solving and plotting the equations of Hoek - Brown ...

ESTIMATING THE GEOTECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF HETEROGENEOUS ROCK MASSES SUCH AS FLYSCH (2001)
This paper presents a methodology for estimating the properties of heterogenous rock masses such as flysch.

HOEK - BROWN PARAMETERS FOR PREDICTING THE DEPTH OF BRITTLE FAILURE AROUND TUNNELS (1999)
A review of underground openings, excavated in varying rock mass types and conditions, indicates that the initiation of brittle failure occurs when the damage index, Di , expressed as the ratio of the maximum tangential boundary stress to the laboratory unconfined ...

TECHNICAL NOTE: RELIABILITY OF HOEK-BROWN ESTIMATES OF ROCK MASS PROPERTIES AND THEIR IMPACT ON DESIGN (1998)
This technical note examines the reliability of a slope stability calculation and a tunnel support design calculation, using rockmass strength and deformation characteristics estimated by Hoek - Brown procedure.
