Rock joint behaviour impacts many branches of engineering including
surface and underground mining, dam foundations, tunnelling for
hydro power and transport, petroleum reservoirs and nuclear waste
storage. The subject is in a very active stage of development, and
engineers, geologists, and scientists involved in these
developments have indicated by their 110 papers that rock joints
are of great importance in many fields of engineering. Selected
papers span five continents and thirty countries. The subjects
covered include geological aspects of joint origin and morphology,
mechanical behaviour such as shear strength and deformability,
hydraulic behaviour, and dynamic behaviour. The influence of water
flow on frictional strength and the effect of joint deformation on
water flow are also strongly represented. Great activity is evident
in many countries in computer modelling for solving complicated
engineering problems where joint behaviour is important. Articles
describe the modelling of joints under dams, around wellbores, in
petroleum reservoirs, in open pit mines, and around tunnels, shafts
and nuclear waste repository excavations. The conference
proceedings forms a unique collection of keynote and specialist
articles on all aspects of rock joint behaviour.
