Nonlinear regression model for peak-failure strength of rockfill materials in general stress space

A nonlinear regression model for peak-failure strength prediction of rockfill materials is proposed. It is based on the relationship between the peak-failure stress ratio and the normalized confining pressure as well as the relationship between the normalized peak-failure stress ratio and the expone...
