Abstract

An empirical strength criterion for rocks and rock masses is proposed. The nonlinear criterion includes the uniaxial compressive strength of the intact rock material and introduces 2 dimensionless parameters, m and s. Approximate relationships between rock type, rock mass quality indices, and the rock mass strength parameters m and s, are presented. -from ASCE Publications Abstracts
