Rock Mechanics & Strata Control

Theory, Practice, and Application

About this book

Rock Mechanics & Strata Control: Theory, Practice, and Application serves as a practical guide for examining many of the fundamental and applied aspects of rock mechanics and strata control needed to help ensure safe and effective surface and underground mining. Clearly written and comprehensive in scope, the book includes numerous worked examples to elaborate on how to interpret and use the rock mechanics and support principles presented. It also includes fundamental coverage of major aspects of the topic that students and practitioners would find useful. The book is aimed primarily as a teaching and reference book for students in mining engineering and other associated disciplines, such as civil engineering, geotechnical and geological engineering, and geology. It would also be useful for practitioners working in the industry as a reference, showing numerous practical application examples.

  • Focuses on rock mechanics and strata control from a green and sustainable point of view.
  • Includes numerous examples and case studies showing how to apply concepts and formula.
