Preface
What does this book’s title, Engineering Rock Mechanics, mean? Generally, it refers to a discipline that uses mechanics to design buildings or structures. The field encompasses the design of building foundations, dams, slopes, canals, caves, energy systems, mines, and so on. The interaction between the rock and the engineering structure strongly influences these structures. As a result, a separate discipline of mechanical engineering emerged. The term ‘rock mechanics’ refers to the fundamental science of rock mechanics; the term ‘rock engineering’ refers to all engineering activities involving rock. The term ‘mechanical engineering’ therefore refers to the application of mechanics to rock construction, petroleum, and petroleum engineering. The title underscores our presentation of rock mechanics principles in engineering, highlighting their potential application in the study of structural geology.
The authors’ knowledge and the content of the Imperial College integrated mechanical engineering course form the basis of the book. Chapters 1-13 cover rock mechanics, Chapter 14 the principles of engineering systems, and Chapters 15-20 the fundamentals of construction. The presentation The presentation’s philosophy is to provide information on all topics discussed. We included physical definitions of relational meaning in all sections, especially mathematics. Again, our philosophy is that, although rock mechanics and related principles are a science, their application is an art. To draw a pleasing picture, it is necessary to know the basic technique. Knowing these skills won’t necessarily make you paint better, but it will make a difference in what everyone tries.
Therefore, we designed the book as a comprehensive source of information for all those interested in metallurgical mechanics and metallurgical engineering, including students, teachers, researchers, customers, engineering consultants, and contractors. The construction, mining, and oil sectors will widely utilize it: While the construction purposes may differ, the principles remain the same.
We hope that everyone who reads this book will have the opportunity to learn about love, as well as science and art. Around the world, we find stone architecture in the ground, on high mountains, and often in natural settings. We engineer with stone as we create structures, extract essential human resources, and harness the power of nature. The love and passion for rock art have kept us talking about exciting things. Personal experience is everything. We hope you can actually experience some of the book’s principles and requirements. The book is based on lecture notes prepared by the authors for undergraduate and postgraduate students at Imperial College. Some of the material, particularly the structural sections, draws from earlier papers developed by our predecessors in the university’s rock mechanics department.
We acknowledge this debt with gratitude and appreciation. We are also grateful to all our students and new colleagues at Imperial College who have suggested improvements to the text during pre-publication ‘field trials’ in recent years. Finally, we would like to thank Carol, Miles Hudson, and Gwen Harrison for their extensive editing and revision of the final version. The final interpretation is, of course, our responsibility: if there is anything you do not understand in the following pages, it is our fault.1. Plot mechanics The study of rock mechanics originated at the Institute of Rock Physics in the 1950s and gradually became a discipline in its own right in the 1960s. As the preface explains, rock mechanics studies how rocks respond to applied perturbations. The techniques discussed here depend on the person and the disorder. Rock mechanics transforms natural faults into structural geology. The development of fractures, faults, and fractures occurs when stress is applied to rocks during orogenic and other geological processes. However, in this book we will deal with rock mechanics used in construction, mining, and petroleum engineering.
Therefore, a wide range of construction projects, including dams, nuclear power plant foundations, various quarries and related equipment, oil wells, and more, can utilize rock mechanics. Perhaps the most important thing that distinguishes rock mechanics from other engineering sciences is the application of large-scale mechanics to previously naturally occurring objects.
Figure 2 features two photographs. In Figures 1.1 and 1.2, we show a typical complete rock formation and a close-up view of the rock material. From these diagrams it is clear that rock formations and rock materials must be considered both in the basic mechanics and in the applied techniques. This has become more popular since the discipline began in the early 1960s.The 1960s saw approximately 7,000 members from 37 countries develop mechanical work in construction and mining. The discipline of rock mechanics is general in nature, and construction occurs mostly in countries where the land surface consists of stone.
