Description - Engineering Rock Mechanics by John P Harrison
This volume can be used as an independent book or as a complement to an earlier publication by the same authors, "Engineering Rock Mechanics: An Introduction to the Principles". It contains illustrative worked examples of engineering rock mechanics in action as the subject applies to civil, mining, petroleum and environmental engineering. The book covers the necessary understanding and the key techniques supporting the rock engineering design of structural foundations, dams, rock slopes, wellbores, tunnels, caverns, hydroelectric schemes and mines. There is a question and worked answer presentation with the question and answer sets collated into 20 chapters which match the subject matter of the first book. The book contains tutorial exercises for students who take the integrated engineering rock mechanics course at Imperial College, University of London, plus many extra examples in an attempt to ensure that the book is comprehensive and is suitable for all reader purposes and backgrounds, whether academic or practical.
