Summary

Introduction to Rock Mechanics introduces a pioneering approach known as block theory, formalising methods for choosing appropriate shapes and orientations for excavations in hard, jointed rock. The book applies this theory to rock slopes and underground excavations, and also explores Q theory for rock classification, empirical criteria for joint shear strength, rock bolting, properties of weak rocks, statistical frequency of jointing, empirical criteria for rock strength, and the design of underground supports. It includes numerous new problems complete with worked-out solutions.
