The rock mechanics literature is rich with a number of shear failure criteria that have been developed. Among these criteria, the Mohr–Coulomb criterion is the most commonly used in practice. There are two major components of this criterion. The first is the assumption that, at failure, the major principal stress σ1 is a linearly increasing function of the minor principal stress, σ3: The second aspect of this criterion is the assumption that the value of the intermediate principal stress, σ2; has no influence on the rock strength. In recent years, much evidence has been accumulating to suggest that the intermediate principal stress does indeed have an influence on rock strength [1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9]. Based on some polyaxial compression tests, Mogi [2] suggested a failure criterion that considered the influence of σ2 on rock failure. Nevertheless, the usefulness of the Mogi failure criterion remains the subject of debate [8, 9]. In particular, the power-law form of the Mogi criterion has been criticised because its two parameters cannot be related to the standard parameters of the Coulomb failure law, such as the cohesion and the angle of internal friction.In this paper, we first review and define the Coulomb, Mohr and Mogi failure criteria. We then examine published data from eight rocks, and show that a linear form of the Mogi criterion does essentially as good a job of representing polyaxial failure data as does the more
