Upper Bound Solution of Surrounding Rock Pressure for Deep Cavity Using Nonlinear Hoek–Brown Failure Criterion

The linear failure criterion is generally adopted in the stability problem of geotechnical engineering, whereas the experiments have indicated that there is a nonlinear relationship between the maximum and minimum principal stresses in weak surrounding rock. According to the characteristics of weak...
