This new edition has been completely revised to reflect the notable innovations in mining engineering and the remarkable developments in the science of rock mechanics and the practice of rock angineering taht have taken place over the last two decades. Although "Rock Mechanics for Underground Mining" addresses many of the rock mechanics issues that arise in underground mining engineering, it is not a text exclusively for mining applications. Based on extensive professional research and teaching experience, this book will provide an authoratative and comprehensive text for final year undergraduates and commencing postgraduate stydents. For profesional practitioners, not only will it be of interests to mining and geological engineers, but also to civil engineers, structural mining geologists and geophysicists as a standard work for professional reference purposes.

I hate this book.
Reviewed in the United States on 2 June 2017Verified Purchase
I hate this book. It was required for my Rock Mechanics class and I found it terribly unfriendly. The index is useless. The example problems aren't helpful. it doesn't explain things well. I gave it 2 stars rather than 1 because it does have good information, if you can find it, and make sense of it.

Every time I have a problem involving rock mechanics, I take a look to this book. Even when the book focus on mining, the concepts can be extrapolated to other applications such tunneling, slope stability, seepage, etc. It has been used as a reference in many projects. Some calculus but lot of empirical equations as well.
