Rock mechanics is a multidisciplinary subject combining geology, geophysics, and engineering and applying the principles of mechanics to study the engineering behavior of the rock mass.
The text includes a brief introduction to geology and covers stereographic projections, laboratory testing, strength and deformation of rock masses, slope stability, foundations, and more.
This volume presents the proceedings of a symposium on rock mechanics, held in the USA in 1995.
Using monitored data for analysis and prediction of rockburst is an important research method. However, it is difficult to present the complex, nonlinear relationship between rock burst and its influence factor using conventional ...

Rock Mechanics: Petroleum applications
Rock Mechanics is a term covering a wide range of interdisciplinary interests. Developing originally from a need to understand the relation between the forces released by excavation and the resistance...
