  • Hoek & Brown Failure Criterion

    This tool offers the possibility to work with rock foundation models, satisfying the Hoek and Browns failure model, original (1980) or modified (1992).

    RMR Rating used to select failure model

    The procedure followed by CivilFEM, is based on using, at each load step, a Drucker-Prager material, whose properties change according to its load level.

    HOEK & BROWNS CRITERION VALIDITY

    The Hoek and Browns criterion is valid only for low confinement pressures.pressures.

    In rock mechanics, four structural situations of the rock massifs are generally distinguished according to the defects and discontinuities shown.

    MODEL OPERATIONMODEL OPERATION

    For each element in the model a stress state is read (1, 3) Using Hoek & Brown criteria, the parameters of Mohr Coulomb are

    obtained, and from this values, the Drucker Prager equivalent parameters.
