Publisher's Synopsis
Rock Engineering and Rock Mechanics: Structures in and on Rock Masses covers the most important topics and state-of-the-art in the area of rock mechanics, with an emphasis on structures in and on rock masses. The 255 contributions (including 6 keynote lectures) from the 2014 ISRM European Rock Mechanics Symposium (EUROCK 2014, Vigo, Spain, 27-29 May 2014) are subdivided under the following 10 headings:- Rock properties and testing methods- Rock mass characterization- Rock mechanics for infrastructures- Mining and quarrying rock mechanics- Design methods and analysis- Monitoring and back analysis- Excavation and support- Case histories and Preservation of natural stone- Petroleum engineering, hydro-fracking and CO2 storage- Applicability of EUROCODE-7 in rock engineeringRock Engineering and Rock Mechanics: Structures in and on Rock Masses will be of interest to rock mechanics academics as well as to professionals who are involved in the various branches of rock engineering.
