Civil engineering students, at the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate leveI, will find here a selection of concepts, techniques, and applications pertaining to the heart oftheir field-for example, how to evaluate the support pressure required to prevent squeezing of c1aystone in tunnels, how to evaluate the optimum angle of a rock cut through a jointed rock mass, and how to determine the bearing capacity of a pier socketed into rock. This book introduces specific aspects of this subject most immediately applicable to civil engineering. It relates to energy recovery and development, construction of transportation, water resources and defense facilities, prediction of earthquakes, and many other activities of greatest importance. Rock mechanics is a truly interdisciplinary subject, with applications in geology and geophysics, mining, petroleum, and civil engineering. Introduetion to roek meehaniesIRichard E.
