Rock Mechanics: For Underground Mining

By B.H.G. Brady and E.T. Brown

Book Overview

Although Rock Mechanics for Underground Mining addresses many of the rock mechanics issues arising in underground engineering, it is not exclusively a text for mining applications. It consists of four general sections: General engineering applications relevant to rock mechanics; mechanical properties of rock and rock masses; underground excavation design and design of various types and associated components of a mine structure; topics related to rock mechanics practice. Throughout the text, and particularly in those sections concerned with excavation design and design of a mine structure, reference is made to computational methods for analysis of stress and displacement in a rock mass.
