{"product_id":"introduction-to-rock-mechanics-isbn-9780471812005","title":"Introduction to Rock Mechanics","description":"Introduces a new approach to rock mechanics called ``block theory,'' which formalizes procedures for selecting proper shapes and orientations for excavations in hard jointed rock. Applies block theory to rock slopes and underground excavations, and covers the Q theory of rock classification, the empirical criterion of joint shear strength, rock bolting, properties of weak rocks, statistical frequency of jointing, an empirical criterion of rock strength, and design of underground supports. Contains many new problems with worked-out solutions. \u003cp\u003eSymbols and Notation xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Classification and Index Properties of Rocks 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Bock Strength and Failure Criteria 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Initial Stresses in Rocks and Their Measurement 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Planes of Weakness in Rocks 141\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Deformability of Rocks 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Applications of Rock Mechanics in Engineering for Underground Openings 221\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Applications of Rock Mechanics to Rock Slope Engineering 293\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Applications of Rock Mechanics to Foundation Engineering 341\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1 Stresses 389\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 2 Strains and Strain Rosettes 409\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 3 Identification of Rocks and Minerals 415\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 4 Derivations of Equations 427\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 5 The Use of Stereographic Projection 475\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnswers to Problems 495\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 555\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRichard E.
