Failure criterion for soft rocks considering intermediate principal stress
The significant differences between hard rocks (more brittle) and soft rocks (more ductile) may suggest the use of different failure criteria. A strength criterion for soft rocks that includes intermediate principal stress was proposed. The new criterion

Effect of Principal Stress Rotation and Intermediate Principal Stress Changes on the Liquefaction Resistance and Undrained Cyclic Response of Ottawa Sand [PDF]
In laboratory testing, the liquefaction resistance of sands is typically evaluated using cyclic triaxial and simple shear tests. These tests cannot be used in a rigorous manner to systematically assess the effects of principal stress rotation and intermediate principal stress changes on the undrained cyclic response of sands.

Effect of intermediate principal stress on the stability of slopes [PDF]
The intermediate principal stress (σ2 ) effect is a mechanical property inherent in many rock and soil materials. However, the effect of σ2 is often ignored in slope stability analyses, and its impact on slope stability is seldom investigated.

Influence of orientation of the intermediate principal stress on fracture reactivation in granite
Fracture (fault) reactivation can lead to dynamic geological hazards including earthquakes, rock collapses, landslides, and rock bursts. True triaxial compression tests were conducted to analyze the fracture reactivation process under two different ...

Modified true triaxial Hoek-Brown criterion considering intermediate principal stress effect
In order to improve the Hoek-Brown strength criterion not considering the influence of intermediate principal stress on rock strength, the evolutions of rock strength were investigated according to the results of the rock true triaxial compression test ...
