Modern Trends in Environmental Geomechanics

Geomechanics has proven to be the backbone of safe and cost effective mining practice. The last 20 years have seen wide application of fracture mechanics to geotechnical and geomechanical problems. This book covers a broad class of problems where deforming geomaterials are involved, usually coupled with fluid flow and transport of some substance. All these aspects are addressed in this book together with a theoretical framework. This work is intended for educators, industry and practicing engineers what it takes to be a good rock engineer and the real benefits of the subject for the good of society.
