Addresses many of the rock mechanics issues arising in underground engineering. Throughout, reference is made to computational methods for analysis of stress and displacement in a rock mass and the principles of various computational schemes are introduced.
Although "Rock Mechanics for Underground Mining" addresses many of the rock mechanics issues arising in underground engineering, it is not exclusively a text for mining applications. It consists of four general sections: General engineering applications relevant to rock mechanics; mechanical properties of rock and rock masses; underground excavation design and design of various types and associated components of a mine structure; topics related to rock mechanics practice. Throughout the text, and particularly in those sections concerned with excavation design and design of a mine structure, reference is made to computational methods for analysis of stress and displacement in a rock mass. The principles of various computational schemes, such as boundary element, finite element and distinct element methods, are introduced. This new edition has been completely revised to take account of developments in the understanding of fundamental modes of deformation, failure and stability of rock under conditions where stress is high in relation to rock strength and also changes in underground engineering practice.
Based on professional, research and teaching experience, this book provides a comprehensive text for senior undergraduate and beginning graduate students. As well as mining and geological engineers, it should be of interest to civil engineers, structural geologists and geophysicists as a standard work for professional reference purposes.

Rock mechanics and mining engineering; stress and infinitesimal strain; rock mass structure; rock strength and deformability; pre-mining state of stress; methods of stress analysis; excavation design in massive elastic rock; excavation design in stratified rock; excavation design in jointed rock; energy, mine stability and rockbursts; rock support and reinforcement; mining methods and method selection; naturally supported mining methods; artificially supported mining methods; longwall and caving mining methods; mining-induced surface subsidence; blasting mechanics; monitoring rock mass performance. Appendices: basic constructions using the hemispherical projection; stresses and displacements induced by point and infinite line loads in an infinite, isotropic, elastic continuum; calculation sequences for rock-support interaction analysis; limiting equililibrium analysis of progressive hanging wall caving; answers to problems.
