Practical estimates of rock mass strength
Evert Hoek,Edwin T. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: This paper summarises the interpretation of the Hoek-Brown failure criterion which has been found to work best in dealing with practical engineering problems.
Book
Underground excavations in rock
Evert Hoek,Edwin T. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the geotechnical aspects of the design of underground openings for mining and civil engineering purposes are discussed, and a number of worked examples to assist the reader in applying the techniques described to his or her own problems.
Hoek-brown failure criterion - 2002 edition
TL;DR: The Hoek-Brown failure criterion for rock masses is widely accepted and has been applied in a large number of projects around the world as discussed by the authors, however, there are some uncertainties and inaccuracies that have made the criterion inconvenient to apply and to incorporate into numerical models and limit equilibrium programs.
Book
Rock slope engineering
Evert Hoek,Jonathan D. Bray +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the geotechnical problems of rock slope design for the mining or civil engineer who is not a specialist in rock or soil mechanics; many work examples are included to assist in relating the techniques described to his own slope problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical Strength Criterion for Rock Masses
Evert Hoek,Edwin T. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical strength criterion for rocks and rock masses is proposed, which includes the uniaxial compressive strength of the intact rock material and introduces two dimensionless parameters, m and s.
