Rock dynamics has become an important area in the field of rock mechanics and engineering. Related subjects include the failure of rocks and rock masses in the form of rockbursting, spalling, popping,
Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (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,
This book is concerned with time-dependency in rock mechanics and rock engineering, whose spectrum is very wide. While the term “time-dependency” involves time-dependent behavior/rate-dependent behavi
A follow-on from "Rock Engineering Design" by X.T. Feng and J.A. Hudson, published by CRC Press / Balkema in 2011, this book covers the important subject of rock engineering risk, an
