The first edition of this book was received more kindly than it
deserved by some, and with some scepticism by others. It set out to
present a simple, concise and reasonably comprehensive introduction
to some of the theoretical and empirical criteria which may be used
to define rock as a structural material. The objectives -
reinforced by the change in title - remain the same, but the
approach has been changed considerably and only one or two sections
have been retained from the first edition. The particular aim in
this edition is to provide a description of the mechanical
behaviour of rocks, based firmly upon experimental data, which can
be used to explain how rocks deform, fracture and yield, and to
show how this knowledge can be used in design. The major emphasis
is on the behaviour of rocks as materials, although in the later
chapters the behaviour of discontinuities in rocks, and the way in
of rock masses, is considered. which this can affect the behaviour
If this edition is an improvement on the first edition it reflects
the debt lowe to numerous people who have attempted to explain the
rudiments of the subject to me. I should like to thank Peter
Attewell and Roy Scott in particular. I should also like to thank
Tony Price and Mike Gilbert whose work at Newcastle I have used
shamelessly.
