Rock Mechanics for Mining and Civil Engineering Rock Mechanics

Rock mechanics is a multidisciplinary field of geology and engineering that focuses on understanding the mechanical behavior of rocks. This book aims to explore the fundamental principles of rock mechanics, covering topics such as the physical characteristics of rocks, investigation of rock mass engineering behavior under different loading conditions, stress and strain analysis, applications of rock failure criteria, laboratory tests, and rock engineering classification methods in solving geological and engineering challenges in solving geological and engineering challenges.
