Example 1 (Page 270)

The following is to illustrate how selected points of a rock support reaction curve are
constructed.

Using Eqn (102),

Where m = 7.5
Po = 108 MPa (case D)
c = 300 MPa

Above Pi cr , behaviour is elastic!

Note M also changes for other Po values!!

Example 2 (Page 274)

This illustrates how to determine shotcrete support.
