Summary: The present work provides an important stimulus for the next generation of rock engineers, since the continued operation and development of new coal mines, hydroelectric plants and nuclear power stations with one or more underground nuclear waste repositories, will be improved by more modern methods of rock engineering design developed by young scholars. The papers indicate the continuing development of rock mechanics and rock engineering, leading to more efficient, safer and economical structures built on and in rock masses, and will appeal to professionals, engineers and academics in rock mechanics, rock engineering, tunnelling, mining, earthquake engineering, rock dynamics and geotechnical engineering. |
