%X Strength parameters are affected by  lithology diversity, confining stress and other factors  under  high stress and complicated geological condition of hydropower engineering in western China.  Hoek-Brown method to determining  parameter values is helpful to  the hydropower engineering practice. Hoek-Brown empirical method is compared with hydropower empirical method, and   the specific basis and realization process of independent parameters such as lithology indicator and geological strength index which are related to the  factors in Hoek-Brown method are introduced. Moreover, practical methods closely related to the hydropower engineering in western China are expounded and are applied to   Jinping  Ⅱ-stage and  Ⅰ-stage hydropower stations for validation. It is proved that Hoek-Brown empirical method is of high adaptability in hydropower engineering in western China
