Description
This book provides a much-needed overview of the engineering of rock masses, and brings together dispersed material into one reference source. Its practical orientation sets it aside from other, more theoretical, books on the subject. The contributors are all internationally renowned experts, and have provided a guide for practising civil and mining engineers, as well as engineering geologists.
