A simplified approach to directly consider intact rock anisotropy in Hoek–Brown failure criterion

Many rock types have naturally occurring inherent anisotropic planes, such as bedding planes, foliation, or flow structures. Such characteristic induces directional features and anisotropy in rocks' strength and deformational properties. The Hoek–Brown (H–B) failure criterion is an empirical st...
