Among practitioners, designers and researchers, modern-day geotechnical software packages still predominantly use Mohr-Coulomb (MC) input modelling parameters, despite the immense computing power of today’s software and hardware components. The same particularly applies to this field of work in the state of Qatar. The goal of this technical note is to demonstrate the most appropriate derivation method for Mohr-Coulomb parameters, by proving that this must ensue by first obtaining or estimating proper Hoek-Brown parameters, followed by appropriate method for conversion. Only such an approach can remove uncertainty and high variability of results in geotechnical estimations and design inputs. |
