The book considers fundamental geological processes that give rise to the nature of rock masses and control their mechanical behaviour. Stresses in the earth's crust are discussed and methods of measurement and prediction explained. Ways to investigate, describe, test and characterise rocks in the laboratory and at project scale are reviewed. The application of rock mechanics principles to the design of engineering structures including tunnels, foundations and slopes is addressed. The book is illustrated throughout with simple figures and photgraphs, and important concepts are illustrated by modern case examples. Mathematical equations are kept to the minimum necessary and are explained fully - the book leans towards practice rather than theory"--Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 329-346) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction to rock mechanics -- Fundamental mechanics -- Geological processes and the nature of rock masses -- Hydrogeology of rock masses -- Characterising rock for engineering purposes -- Properties and parameters for design -- Foundations on rock -- Rock slopes -- Underground excavations. 650 0 $a Rock mechanics. 650 0 $a Engineering geology. 830 0 $a Applied geotechnics. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706015729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FDAB7D826B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
