Rock Mechanics: An Introduction, Second Edition introduces rock mechanics fundamentals in a simple way with a strong practical bias, assuming no prior knowledge in the subject. It is essential text for students at the graduate level who are facing careers as professional geotechnical engineers. The book is also suitable for undergraduates and engineering professionals in civil, mining, petroleum and geological engineering. This new edition brings in a completely new chapter on tunnelling as well as more information on numerical analysis and software, and sections on slope failure mechanisms, rock-socketted piles and petroleum geology.
