Rock Mechanics and Engineering Volume 1
Principles is the first volume of the five-volume set Rock Mechanics and Engineering and contains twenty-four chapters from key experts in the following fields: - Discontinuities; - Anisotropy; - Rock Stress; - Geophysics; - Strength Criteria; - Modeling Rock Deformation and Failure. The five-volume set “Comprehensive Rock Engineering”, which was published in 1993, has had an important influence on the development of rock mechanics and rock engineering. Significant and extensive advances and achievements in these fields over the last 20 years now justify the publishing of a comparable, new compilation. Rock Mechanics and Engineering represents a highly prestigious, multi-volume work edit...
Bridging the Gaps in Our Efforts to Combat Human Trafficking
This book brings together a rich international and cross-sectional collection of articles that examine the current knowledge on gaps in the research realm or intervention development as they relate to our effort to combat human trafficking/modern-day slavery. The anthology includes chapters from established scholars, practitioners, and persons with lived experience. Modern-day slavery or human trafficking has attracted much attention from around the world in the past few decades and engendered significant growth in counter-trafficking interventions as well as empirical research on related prevalence estimation and program evaluation. However, significant gaps remain in our knowledge on how t...
The ISRM Suggested Methods for Rock Characterization, Testing and Monitoring: 2007-2014
This book is a collection of ISRM suggested methods for testing or measuring properties of rocks and rock masses both in the laboratory and in situ, as well as for monitoring the performance of rock engineering structures. The first collection (Yellow Book) has been published in 1981. In order to provide access to all the Suggested Methods in one volume, the ISRM Blue Book was published in 2007 (by the ISRM via the Turkish National Group) and contains the complete set of Suggested Methods from 1974 to 2006 inclusive. The papers in this most recent volume have been published during the last seven years in international journals, mainly in Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering. They offer guidance for rock characterization procedures and laboratory and field testing and monitoring in rock engineering. These methods provide a definitive procedure for the identification, measurement and evaluation of one or more qualities, characteristics or properties of rocks or rock systems that producesa test result.
