The failure of rocks subjected to a general state of stress (σ1 ≥ σ2 ≥ σ3) has been studied since the pioneering true triaxial experiments conducted by Mogi [1]. In true triaxial tests, cuboidal specimens are subjected to fixed, and typically unequal, σ3 and σ2, while σ1 is increased until failure occurs (expressed by σ1 at failure, or σ1,peak). For each constant σ3, σ2 is varied from test to t...
