Analysis of rock, soil and discontinuity strength data
software tools for rock and soil

RocData is an interactive toolkit for the analysis of rock and soil strength data. Strength envelopes and
other parameters can be determined from curve-fitting of test data. RocData includes RocProp, a database
of intact rock properties which runs as a standalone application.

Strength Criteria
Strength criteria include linear Mohr-
Coulomb and non-linear Generalized
Hoek-Brown, Barton-Bandis and Power
Curve. These can be applied in the
analysis of intact rock, rock mass,
soil or discontinuity (joint) strength
data. RocData is highly interactive
and allows you to easily test different
strength parameters and observe how
they impact a failure envelope. Input
parameters can be estimated from built-
in charts and tables. Equivalent Mohr-
Coulomb parameters are calculated for
non-linear envelopes.

Curve Fitting of Test Data


Strength test data from triaxial or direct
shear tests can be entered to determine
the “best fit” strength envelope and
associated parameters (e.g. cohesion Best-fit strength envelope for triaxial test data, Generalized Hoek-Brown criterion. Data is displayed as
and friction angle) for a rock or soil. The points on the principal stress envelope and Mohr circles on the shear-normal envelope.
data can be obtained from lab tests of
intact samples, or field data from in-
situ rock mass tests. Failure envelopes
are plotted in both shear-normal and
principal stress space. RocData results
can be used as input for numerical
analysis programs such as Slide or
Phase2.

RocProp Database
RocData now includes RocProp, a
database of intact rock properties
which currently contains over 600 test
records from worldwide sources. The
data includes rock type, geographical
location, compressive and tensile
strength, elastic properties, Hoek-Brown
parameters and velocity parameters.
The database can be searched and
filtered in various ways, and allows
users to create charts, generate
statistical information, and add their RocProp histogram chart of compressive strength data for granite. The best fit statistical distribution is
own data in a user database. also displayed.
