Rock Engineering and Rock Mechanics: Structures in and on Rock Masses

Rock Engineering and Rock Mechanics: Structures in and on Rock Masses covers the most important topics and state-of-the-art in the area of rock mechanics, with an emphasis on structures in and on rock masses. The 255 contributions (including 6 keynote lectures) from the 2014 ISRM European Rock Mechanics Symposium (EUROCK 2014, Vigo, Spain, 27-29 May 2014) are subdivided under the following 10 headings:

- Rock properties and testing methods

- Rock mass characterization

- Rock mechanics for infrastructures

- Mining and quarrying rock mechanics

- Design methods and analysis

- Monitoring and back analysis

- Excavation and support

- Case histories and Preservation of natural stone

- Petroleum engineering, hydro-fracking and CO2 storage

- Applicability of EUROCODE-7 in rock engineering

Rock Engineering and Rock Mechanics: Structures in and on Rock Masses will be of interest to rock mechanics academics as well as to professionals who are involved in the various branches of rock engineering.
