Rock Engineering in Difficult Ground Conditions - Soft Rocks and Kars

The present scenario of rapidly expanding mining and civil engineering sectors calls for scientific approach in formulating designs of opencast, underground and civil excavations. Recent years have seen numerical modelling techniques and software’s replacing the traditional methods of rock excavation design. This book presents state of the art information in the fields of rock mechanics and mining engineering on systems theory, experimental and technological innovations, soft rocks landslide, tunnel excavation, and other issues, with fruitful achievements observed. It addresses the issue of the failure of rock engineering structures. The book is designed to provide an insight into practical rock engineering to students, geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists.
