This book provides a new, necessary and valuable approach to the
consideration of risk in underground engineering projects
constructed within rock masses. There are Chapters on uncertainty
and risk, rock engineering systems, rock fractures and rock stress,
the design of a repository for radioactive waste, plus two major
case examples relating to the headrace tunnels and caverns for a
hydroelectric project. These Chapters highlight in detail the
authors' new rock engineering risk approach, especially how
monitoring during construction can significantly reduce the
construction risks. The book is particularly timely given the
current increasing emphasis on geo-engineering safety,
accountability and sustainability-which requires stricter attention
to risk and greater reliability than ever before. Written by two
eminent authors, the two most recent past-Presidents of the
International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM), this modern and
well-illustrated guide on Rock Engineering Risk complements the
authors' previous 2011 book on Rock Engineering Design, also
published by Taylor & Francis. The book will benefit engineers,
contractors, clients, researchers, lecturers and advanced students
who are concerned with rock engineering projects in civil, mining,
geological and construction engineering worldwide.
The five-volume set "Comprehensive Rock Engineering", which was
published in 1993, has had an important influence on the
development of rock mechanics and rock engineering. Significant and
extensive advances and achievements in these fields over the last
20 years now justify the publishing of a comparable, new
compilation. Rock Mechanics and Engineering represents a highly
prestigious, multi-volume work edited by Professor Xia-Ting Feng,
with the editorial advice of Professor John A. Hudson. This new
compilation offers an extremely wide-ranging and comprehensive
overview of the state-of-the-art in rock mechanics and rock
engineering and is composed of peer-reviewed, dedicated
contributions by all the key experts worldwide. Key features of
this set are that it provides a systematic, global summary of new
developments in rock mechanics and rock engineering practices as
well as looking ahead to future developments in the fields.
Contributors are world-renowned experts in the fields of rock
mechanics and rock engineering, though younger, talented
researchers have also been included. The individual volumes cover
an extremely wide array of topics grouped under five overarching
themes: Principles (Vol. 1), Laboratory and Field Testing (Vol. 2),
Analysis, Modelling and Design (Vol. 3), Excavation, Support and
Monitoring (Vol. 4) and Surface and Underground Projects (Vol. 5).
This multi-volume work sets a new standard for rock mechanics and
engineering compendia and will be the go-to resource for all
engineering professionals and academics involved in rock mechanics
and engineering for years to come.

Rock Characterisation, Modelling and Engineering Design Methods
contains the contributions presented at the 3rd ISRM SINOROCK
Symposium (Shanghai, China, 18-20 June 2013). The papers contribute
to the further development of the overall rock engineering design
process through the sequential linkage of the three themes of rock
characterisation, modelling and design methods, including feedback
from the construction process itself. In addition, they enhance the
interaction between the rock mechanics community in China and the
rock mechanics communities in other countries. Rock
Characterisation, Modelling and Engineering Design Methods not only
describes the current state-of-the-art in rock characterisation,
modelling and design, it also covers the manifold aspects of rock
mechanics and rock engineering. The book will be of interest to
professionals, engineers and academics involved in the theoretical
and practical aspects of rock mechanics and engineering.

Rockburst: Mechanisms, Monitoring, Warning and Mitigation invites
the most relevant researchers and practitioners worldwide to
discuss the rock mechanics phenomenon related to increased stress
and energy levels in intact rock introduced by drilling, explosion,
blasting and other activities. When critical energy levels are
reached, rockbursts can occur causing human and material losses in
mining and tunneling environments. This book is the most
comprehensive information source in English to cover rockbursts.
Comprised of four main parts, the book covers in detail the
theoretical concepts related to rockbursts, and introduces the
current computational modeling techniques and laboratory tests
available. The second part is devoted to case studies in mining
(coal and metal) and tunneling environments worldwide. The third
part covers the most recent advances in measurement and monitoring.
Special focus is given to the interpretation of signals and
reliability of systems. The following part addresses warning and
risk mitigation through the proposition of a single risk assessment
index and a comprehensive warning index to portray the stress
status of the rock and a successful case study. The final part of
the book discusses mitigation including best practices for
distressing and efficiently supporting rock. Designed to provide
the most comprehensive coverage, the book will provide practicing
mining and tunneling engineers the theoretical background needed to
better cope with the phenomenon, practical advice from case studies
and practical mitigation actions and techniques. Academics in rock
mechanics will appreciate this complete reference to rockburst,
which features how to analyze stress signals and use computational
modeling more efficiently.
