Abstract (2. Language): 
Properties of soil-cement mixtures have been studied extensively. However, how to determine the parameters for Hoek-Brown (H-B) criterion for soil-cement mixtures from these properties remains unsolved. This study proposes an optimization-based method to obtain the fitting parameters for Hoek-Brown criterion from the cohesion and the friction angle of coarse-grained-soil-cement mixtures, details of the procedure to optimize the fitting parameters are presented. A numerical investigation using the H-B criterion with the parameters obtained from the proposed procedure for coarse-gained-soil-cement mixtures is conducted for a case study, influences of fitting parameters on the calculated settlement are studied and comparisons with that using M-C criterion and field monitored data are present.
