A parameter m in the Hoek-Brown criterion indicates how the type of rock affects the criterion's strength. It is anticipated that the rock will be stronger with a greater value of m. Using the values of m provided in the question and comparing the peak compressive strengths of granite, rhyolite, and marble with each other, qu = 100MPa For marble (m = 7): peak compressive strength =? For rhyolite (m =17): peak compressive strength =? For granite (m = 25): peak compressive strength =?
