Calculates the Barton-Choubey criterion for the given data and for the given level of stress (unit weight and depth).

Barton_Choubey(JRC, JCS, phi.r, unit.weight, depth)

Arguments

JRC

The Joint Roughness Coefficient (1-20)

JCS

The Joint Compressive Strength in MPa

phi.r

The residual friction angle of the rock

unit.weight

The unit weight of the rock in kN/m3

depth

The depth, in meters, to which calculate the parameters

Value

A list with 3 tibbles: data (normal stress and shear stress), stress level point, and parameters (c and phi). All stress values are in MPa
