Failure Criterion

In the Material Properties dialog, a wide variety of Failure Criterion models are available for modelling shear strength of soil or rock, including linear, non-linear, anisotropic and discrete options. To choose a Failure Criterion for a given material:

• Select the Strength tab in the Material Properties dialog
• Select the Failure Criterion

The following Failure Criterion options are available:

Mohr-Coulomb

Undrained

Infinite Strength

Anisotropic Strength

Shear/Normal Function

C/Phi Function

Generalized Hoek-Brown

Vertical Stress Ratio

Barton-Bandis

Power Curve

Hyperbolic

Discrete Function

Drained-Undrained

Generalized Anisotropic

SHANSEP

Block Model
