Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering is concerned with the
application of the principles of mechanics to physical, chemical
and electro-magnetic processes in the upper-most layers of the
earth and the design and construction of the rock structures
associated with civil engineering and exploitation or extraction of
natural resources in mining and petroleum engineering. Rock
mechanics requires profound knowledge of rock-constituting
elements, discontinuities and their behavior under various physical
and chemical actions in nature. The governing equations together
with constitutive laws and experimental techniques and the solution
techniques are explained and some examples of applications are
given. The applications of rock mechanics to engineering structures
in/on rock, rock excavation techniques and in-situ monitoring
techniques are explained and some specific examples are given. The
dynamic aspects associated with the science of earthquakes and
their effect on rock structures, and the characteristics of
vibrations induced by machinery, blasting and impacts as well as
measuring techniques are described. Furthermore, the degradation
and maintenance processes in rock engineering are explained. Some
chapters are devoted to possible new directions in rock mechanics.
This two-volume set is intended to be a fundamental resource for
younger generations and newcomers and a reference work for experts
specialized in Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering and associated
with the fields of mining, civil and petroleum engineering,
engineering geology, and/or specialized in Geophysics and concerned
with earthquake science and engineering.
