Fundamentals And Applications Of Rock Mechanics - Abhiram Kumar Verma, Deb Debasis

Rock mechanics is a first course in the field of mining and geotechnical engineering. Over the last few decades, the concepts and applications of rock mechanics have evolved tremendously for understanding the stability and safety of structures made of/on/into the rock masses. The second edition of the book elaborates the fundamental concepts of rock mechanics for designing and analysis of structures and excavations for a variety of applications. The text includes a fine blend of theory and worked-out examples and applications, and also emphasises the basics of stress and strain analysis, volume-weight relationship, rock mass classification systems, in situ stress measurements, stresses around underground opening, pillar and support design, subsidence, slope stability, rock failure criteria and behaviour of jointed rock mass.
