The five-volume set "Comprehensive Rock Engineering", which used to be released in 1993, has had an incredible effect at the improvement of rock mechanics and rock engineering. major and vast advances and achievements in those fields over the past twenty years now justify the publishing of a related, new compilation. Rock Mechanics and Engineering represents a hugely prestigious, multi-volume paintings edited by way of Professor Xia-Ting Feng, with the editorial suggestion of Professor John A. Hudson. This new compilation bargains a very wide-ranging and complete evaluation of the state of the art in rock mechanics and rock engineering and consists of peer-reviewed, devoted contributions via the entire key specialists world wide in addition to via more youthful, proficient researchers.
Key beneficial properties of this set are that it presents a scientific, international precis of recent advancements in rock mechanics and rock engineering practices in addition to looking forward to destiny advancements within the fields. the person volumes disguise an incredibly big range of subject matters grouped below 5 overarching issues. quantity 1 discusses Rock Mechanics and Engineering ideas, and contains contributions grouped lower than the sub-themes Discontinuities, Anisotropic, Rock tension, Geophysics, energy standards and Modelling rock deformation and failure.
This paintings units a brand new common for rock mechanics and engineering compendia and may be the go-to source for all engineering execs and teachers considering rock mechanics and engineering for years to come.
