The first edition of Rock Mechanics and Engineering bridged the gap
between scientific research on rock mechanics and practical
engineering. It was resolutely aimed at giving practical
information to geologists, engineering geologists and engineers.
Emphasis was placed on the lessons to be learnt from the study of
case histories, with the Malpasset Dam rupture and the large Vajont
rock slide amongst those described. In this second, enlarged
edition the author continues to emphasise aspects of rock
mechanics. Modern efforts at establishing an engineering
classification of rocks are summarised and considerable attention
is given to the Austrian tunnelling method. Firm in his belief that
there is no better way to study the subject than by the detailed
analysis of case histories, Dr Jaeger has incorporated a number of
new ones, for example the discussion on the engineering
classification of jointed rock masses and the required rock support
is illustrated by descriptions of the second Gotthard Tunnel and
the design of the third, much larger tunnel.
