About this document
Safety Factor Analysis Using Hoek-Brown by Marjorie Massiel Farías Muñoz is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document compares different approaches for calculating the factor of safety using the shear strength reduction technique for slopes with non-linear Hoek-Brown failure criteria. There are two main procedures - one based on approximating the non-linear envelope with a best-fit linearization and reducing strength globally (Procedure I), and one determining local strength values according to the stress state and reducing locally (Procedure II). The study finds that Procedure II, which determines local cohe
