This comprehensive introduction to rock mechanics treats the basics
of rock mechanics in a clear and straightforward manner and
discusses important design problems in terms of the mechanics of
materials. This extended third edition includes an additional
chapter on Foundations on Jointed Rock. Developed for a complete
class in rock engineering, this volume uniquely combines the design
of surface and underground rock excavations and addresses: * rock
slope stability in surface excavations, from planar block and wedge
slides to rotational and toppling failures * shaft and tunnel
stability, ranging from naturally-supported openings to analysis
and design of artificial support and reinforcement systems *
entries and pillars in stratified ground * three-dimensional
caverns, with emphasis on cable bolting and backfill * geometry and
forces of chimney caving, combination support and trough subsidence
* rock bursts and bumps in underground excavations, with focus on
dynamic phenomena and on fast and sometimes catastrophic failures.
The numerous exercises and examples familiarize the reader with
solving basic practical problems in rock mechanics through various
design analysis techniques and their applications. Supporting the
main text, appendices provide supplementary information about rock,
joint, and composite properties, rock mass classification schemes,
useful formulas, and an extensive literature list. The large
selection of problems at the end of each chapter can be used for
home assignment. A solutions manual is available to course
instructors. Explanatory and illustrative in character, this volume
is suited for courses in rock mechanics, rock engineering and
geological engineering design for undergraduate and first year
graduate students in mining, civil engineering and applied earth
sciences. Moreover, it will form a good introduction to the subject
of rock mechanics for earth scientists and engineers from other
disciplines.
