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 ...

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 ...

STRENGTH OF JOINTED ROCK MASSES (1983)
<p>This paper summarizes some of the basic assumptions about strength of rock masses. A simple empirical failure criterion is presented and its application in engineering design is illustrated by means of a number of practical examples.</p>
