“…For reasons of convenience, the K 1 values are shown for lifetimes of 5, 10 and 100 years. When solving problems connected with rock pressures [9], with the exception of the long-term strength coefficient, one has to consider structural characteristics (intensity of cracking, strength of structural blocks, different strength of layers, inclination angles of layer cracks), generally expressed by the structural weakening coefficient K 1 . The expected rock resistance to pressure is calculated using the formula…”
