Rock mechanics is a branch of engineering that deals with the mechanical behavior of rocks and their interactions with man-made structures. It is a multidisciplinary field that draws on principles from geology, engineering, and physics. Rock mechanics is essential for the design and construction of underground excavations such as mines, tunnels, and underground storage facilities. It is also important for the assessment of the stability of natural slopes and the design of foundations for buildings and bridges.

This comprehensive reference book covers all aspects of rock mechanics, from basic principles to advanced applications, including the latest developments in the field. It is essential reading for engineers, geologists, and other professionals involved in the mining, civil engineering, and petroleum industries.
