Summary
Summary
Deals initially with rock behaviour in terms of the intrinsic or laboratory sample scale. Subsequent sections describe the classification of rock masses. An appreciation of the engineering behaviour of very complex rock masses is provided through the inclusion of informative case histories.
Table of Contents
| Failure phenomena and its mechanism in model tests, surface structures and underground openings |
| theoretical approaches (strain localization, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, plasticity and visco-plasticity theory) |
| numerical approaches (FEM, BEM and other methods) |
| case studies (slopes, foundations, dams, tunnels, underground caverns, underground mining). |
