This study presents an advanced approach to evaluate the stability of Hoek-Brown rock mass with a spherical cavity, using rigorous upper bound and lower bound solutions of stability factors solved through advanced finite element limit analysis. Comprehensive design charts, tables, and equations are provided for stability evaluation.
