A General Criterion for Complex Rocks and Soils and its Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

A failure criterion is proposed for complex rocks and soils. Their anisotropic and nonlinear behavior is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The influence of the intermediate principal stress is taken into account. The nonhomogeneous strength and the effect of geological temperature are also discussed. Many classical failure criteria are special cases of the proposed condition. The criterion is applied in the analysis of the bedrock of Ankang Dam in China. The case study illustrates the potential of the proposed general model in engineering application.
