Volume III. Rock mechanics is an essentially applied science, directed towards the improved understanding and prediction of the behavior of rock in a wide range of practical fields in mining, engineering, geology, and seismology. Rock tests, particularly in-situ tests, are rather expensive, and it is desirable that we develop our understanding of rock behavior to such an extent that, as far as possible, our predictions can be based on a few carefully selected and less expensive tests. Chapters included, Ch.8. In Situ Testing of Rock, pg. 1-208. Ch.9. Time-Dependent Properties of Rocks, pg. 209-310. Included are References and Appendix III and IV. Book is in good condition with no markings on the text pages.
