Geomechanics and Geodynamics of Rock Masses, Volume 1

This book is Volume 1 of the EUROCK 2018 proceedings. Geomechanics and Geodynamics of Rock Masses contains contributions presented at EUROCK 2018, the 2018 International Symposium of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM 2018, Saint Petersburg, Russia, 22-26 May 2018). Dedicated to recent advances and achievements in the fields of geomechanics and geotechnology, the main topics of the book include:- Physical and mechanical properties of fractured rock (laboratory testing and rock properties, field measurements and site investigations- Geophysics in rock mechanic- Rock mass strength and failur- Nonlinear problems in rock mechanic- Effect of joint water on the behavior of rock foundatio- Numerical modeling and back analysi- Mineral resources development: methods and rock mechanics problem- Rock mechanics and underground construction in mining, hydropower industry and civil engineerin- Rock mechanics in petroleum engineerin- Geodynamics and monitoring of rock mass behavio- Risks and hazard- Geomechanics of technogenic depositsGeomechanics and Geodynamics of Rock Masses will be of interest to researchers and professionals involved in the various branches of rock mechanics and rock engineering. EUROCK 2018, organized by the Saint Petersburg Mining University, is a continuation of the successful series of ISRM symposia in Europe, which began in 1992 in Chester, UK.
