This book covers many different aspects of rock dynamics and engineering applications, including dynamic testing methods, Hopkinson pressure bar techniques, analytical methods for rock fracture dynamic and wave propagation in jointed rock masses, failure mechanism of rock under dynamic load, FEM and..

This book provides practicing engineers working in the field of design, construction and monitoring of rock structures such as tunnels and slopes with technical information on how to design, how to excavate and how to monitor the structures during their construction. Based on the long-term engineeri..

Presents a description of a framework and techniques for modelling structure (in particular dams and dikes) failure events as well as a proposal to several novel approaches for risk analysis and assessment by numerical, statistical and constrained based methods in particular to the problems of breac..

This third edition of Design Analysis in Rock Mechanics, a textbook for courses in applied rock mechanics, treats the basics of rock mechanics design as used in surface and underground excavations. Exercises and examples familiarize the reader with solving practical problems in rock mechanics throug..

Providing an all-encompassing study into the field of design methodology in rock engineering, this book appraises current trends, explores engineering design in depth, presents a design methodology and demonstrates its practical use...

DDA is a numerical evolving method in rock mechanics practice. While the theory is covered in Shi’s book which was published in 1993, the verification, validation, and application of the method have not yet been presented in a concise form to professionals and students of rock mechanics and rock eng..

Drilled shafts in rock are widely used as foundations of heavy structures such as highway bridges and tall buildings. Although much has been learned about the analysis and design of drilled shafts in rock, all the major findings are published in the form of reports and articles in technical journals..

This work discusses the systems and machines of drilling, the types and characteristics of explosives and the methods for calculating blasts. Its objectives and contents contribute to improved safety in mining...

Methodically demonstrating the basic rules for the design criteria of earthfill and rockfill dams, this book expertly guides the reader from preliminary work through the design stages to the construction and control of safety in completed structures...
