RocData Analysis: Hoek-Brown Factors

This document analyzes the strength of a rock/soil sample using RocData. It determines the intact rock strength is 30 MPa based on Hoek-Brown classification. It then calculates various rock mass parameters including a tensile strength of -0.050 MPa, uniaxial compressive strength of 0.932 MPa, and modulus of deformation of 1789.00 MPa using the Hoek-Brown and Mohr-Coulomb criteria.
