{"product_id":"rock-mechanics-for-underground-mining-9781402020643","title":"Rock Mechanics: For underground mining","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough Rock Mechanics addresses many of the rock mechanics issues which arise in underground mining engineering  it is not a text exclusively for mining applications. It consists of five categories of topics on the science and practice of rock engineering: basic engineering principles relevant to rock mechanics; mechanical properties of rock and rock masses; design of underground excavations in various rock mass conditions; mining methods and their implementation; and guidelines on rock mechanics practice. Throughout the text  and particularly in those sections concerned with excavation design and design of mining layouts  reference is made to computational methods of 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 considered. 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 engineering that have taken place over the last two decades. Based on extensive professional  research and teaching experience  this book will provide an authoritative and comprehensive text for final year undergraduates and commencing postgraduate students. For professional practitioners  not only will it be of interest to mining and geological engineers but also to civil engineers  structural and mining geologists and geophysicists as a standard work for professional reference purposes. B.H.G. Brady is Emeritus Professor and former Dean of the Faculty of Engineering  Computing and Mathematics at The University of Western Australia  and a consulting rock mechanics engineer. E.T. Brown is Senior Consultant  Golder Associates Pty Ltd  Brisbane  Australia and formerly Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor of The University of Queensland  Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666348105781,"sku":"ByrdShop_1402020643","price":149.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781402020643.jpg?v=1782429128","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/rock-mechanics-for-underground-mining-9781402020643","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
