Wittke, Walter. <br/><br/>
Rock Mechanics  Theory and Applications with Case Histories /  [electronic resource] : 
by Walter Wittke. 
 - 1st ed. 1990. 
 - XVII, 1076 p.  online resource. 
<br/><br/> The book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of rock mechanics and to its application to economic construction in rock. Models describe the mechanical properties and the permeability of rock. Numerical methods for evaluating the stability of structures in rock are given to solve special problems related to tunnels, caverns, pressure tunnels, dam foundations and slopes. Methods for testing the rock mechanical properties are described. A number of case histories enable the reader to make use of the content in his or her own work.
