Product Description:

This proceedings volume contains over 300 papers on rock mechanics and
engineering with contributors from all over Asia and many other parts of
the world. Seven keynote papers summarize the state-of-the-art in rock
engineering including topics such as underground rock caverns. The
technical papers cover a wide range of rock mechanics and engineering
topics such as: rock tunnels, caverns, mining, rock slopes and dams,
rock blasting, rock burst and failure, rock properties, rock mass, rock
joints, and block theory. Numerous valuable rock engineering case
studies are also reported. This volume should serve as a useful
reference for the engineers and researchers in rock mechanics and rock
engineering.
