Rock Engineering is a valuable reference tool for geotechnical engineers, geologists, consultants, contractors, and advanced students on rock engineering and engineering geology courses.
An up-to-date record of the most recent developments and thinking in the methods, problems and challenges in the field of rock support, including cable bolting, shotcrete in mining, support in rockburst-prone ground, and support design, analysis and applications.
Ore extraction through surface and underground mining continues to involve deeper excavations in more complex rock mass conditions. Communities and infrastructure are increasingly exposed to rock slope hazards as they expand further into rugged mountainous terrains. Energy needs are accelerating the development of new hydroelectric dams and exploit

With a focus on risk and uncertainty, 'Rock engineering' explains the geological principles and concepts required for successful geotechnical design and engineering of underground excavations.
Underground Mining Methods presents the latest principles and techniques in use today. Reflecting the international and diverse nature of the industry, a series of mining case studies is presented covering the commodity range from iron ore to diamonds extracted by operations located in all corners of the world. Industry experts have contributed 77 chapters. This book is certain to become a standard for every practicing mining engineer and student alike. Sections include: General Mine Design Considerations, Room-and-Pillar Mining of Hard Rock/Soft Rock, Longwall Mining of Hard Rock, Shrinkage Stoping, Sublevel Stoping, Cut-and-Fill Mining, Sublevel Caving, Panel Caving, Foundations for Design, and Underground Mining Looks to the Future.
This collection contains 31 papers presented at the Tenth International Conference on Shotcrete for Underground Support, held in Whistler, British Columbia, September 12-16, 2006.
