Abstract

The article presents and discusses a quasi-brittle rock failure model, analytical expressions constructed for limit stresses using necessary and sufficient criteria of structured rock failure, normal tensile stresses in rock mass with fracture, quasi-brittle failure diagram constructed using approximation of two-section kinked stress–strain curves obtained in coal under tension, and critical stress estimates.
