Engineering Properties of Rocks DOC, MOBI, EPUB
9780128028766 English 0128028769 Engineering Properties of Rocks, Engineering Properties of Rocks explores the use of typical values or empirical correlations of similar rocks to estimate their specific parameters. Although procedures for measuring most of a rock's properties are standardized and may even be simple, they are time consuming and expensive. In addition, they require well-prepared rock cores, which is often difficult or even impossible for weak rocks. The book is based on the authors extensive experience, and is a single source for the most relevant property correlations currently used in geotechnical gngineering, also exploring discontinuities, strength, deformability, permeability of rock masses, and calculations of stress. Presents a single source for the correlations on rock properties Saves time and resources invested on in situ testing procedures Fully updated with current literature Expanded coverage of rock types and geographical locations, Engineering Properties of Rocks, Second Edition, explores the use of typical values or empirical correlations of similar rocks to estimate their specific parameters.

Presents a single source for the correlations on rock properties Saves time and resources invested on in situ testing procedures Fully updated with current literature Expanded coverage of rock types and geographical locations, More often than not it is difficult to directly obtain the specific parameters of interest using in situ methods. As an alternative, the most common substitute is the use of the typical values or empirical correlations of similar rocks to estimate the specific parameters needed. Although procedures for measuring most of rock properties are standardized and may even be simple, they are time consuming and expensive; also, they require well-prepared rock cores, which is often difficult or even impossible for weak rocks. Based on the authors extensive experience this book offers a single source for the most relevant properties correlations currently used in Geotechnical Engineering. It also explores discontinuities, strength, deformability and permeability of rock masses and calculations of stress. Single source for correlations on Rock Properties; Saves time and resources invested on in situ testing procedures; Updated with current literature; Expanded coverage of rock types and geographical locations., More often than not, it is difficult or even impossible to obtain directly the specific rock parameters of interest using in situ methods. The procedures for measuring most rock properties are also time consuming and expensive. Engineering Properties of Rocks, Second Edition, explores the use of typical values and/or empirical correlations of similar rocks to determine the specific parameters needed. The book is based on the author's extensive experience and offers a single source of information for the evaluation of rock properties. It systematically describes the classification and characterization of intact rock, rock discontinuities, and rock masses, and presents the various indirect methods for estimating the deformability, strength, and permeability of these components as well as the in situ rock stresses. Presents a single source for the correlations on rock properties Saves time and resources invested on in situ testing procedures Fully updated with current literature Expanded coverage of rock types and geographical locations
