Though some  contents of this vast subject are included in under-graduate curriculum, there  are full-fledged courses on Rock Mechanics\/Rock Engineering in postgraduate  programmes in civil engineering and mining engineering. Much of the material  presented in this book is also taught to geology and geophysics students. In  addition, the book is suitable for short courses conducted for teachers,  practising engineers and engineering geologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  This book, with contributions from a number of authors  with expertise and vast experience in various areas of rock engineering, gives  an in-depth analysis of the multidimensional aspects of the subject. The text  covers a wide range of topics related to engineering behaviour of rocks and  rock masses, their classifications, interpretation of geological mapping of  joints through stereographic projection, in situ stress measurements,  laboratory and field tests, stability of rock slopes, foundations of structures,  including dams and support systems for underground excavations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  The \u003cstrong\u003eThird Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e of the book is further  enriched with the addition of a number of case histories in which the analyses  and designs were carried out by adopting rock mass parameters as per RMR, Q or  GSI. The consequence of such an approach is critically examined. With the  adoption of parameters from joint factor, excellent performance prediction has  been demonstrated for anisotropic rocks and tunnel. Various expressions  developed for \u003cem\u003eKn\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKs\u003c\/em\u003e for different  conditions are included for adoption in numerical analyses. When dilatancy  component is separated, the scale effect on shear response is insignificant.  This edition provides a comprehensive understanding of rock mass response and  enables students to tackle rock engineering problems more confidently and  realistically, and therefore it will be of immense\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PHI Learning Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45313813840023,"sku":"9788120345553","price":638.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788120345553.webp?v=1769288394","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/production-and-operations-management-9788120345553","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
