Resumo |
In general, rock masses are inhomogeneous, discontinuous media composed of rock material and naturally occurring discontinuities such as joints, fractures and bedding planes. Because of these features, the strength of rock masses is notoriously difficult to assess. Nonetheless, many criteria have been proposed for estimating rock mass strength. Based on the finite element upper and lower bound limit analysis methods, this study examined two empirical yield criteria for rock masses, the Hoek-Brown failure criterion (2002) and the Douglas criterion (2002). The comparisons showed that very different results may be obtained using the same input parameters. Therefore, it is interesting to discuss the source of these differences. |
