1 LICENTIATE THESIS Evaluation of rock mass strength criteria Catrin Edelbro Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Division of Rock Mechanics
2 BACKGROUND
3 BACKGROUND Correct input data Reliable stability prognoses Correct design of drifts, tunnels, etc. Optimised drilling, blasting and reinforcement Result Minimise risk of failure Decreased costs for rock excavators Minimise environmental disturbances
4 METHODS TO DETERMINE THE ROCK MASS STRENGTH Back analysis of failure Failure criteria Large-scale testing Mathematical modelling Rock mass classification
5 FAILURE CRITERION σ 1s = σ 1 (σ 3, parameter 1, parameter 2,., parameter n) Rock classification system
6 OBJECTIVE Literature review of existing criteria Selection of criteria based on limitations Evaluate selected criteria and parameters in a case study Identify the most applicable criteria and useful parameters
7 SCOPE Continuous Discontinuous Continuous Intact rock Continuous material Closely jointed rock Swedish rock conditions Typical tunnel dimensions Compressive failure (spalling, shearing) Exclude rock burst problems, effect of σ 2, blasting or creeping
