ENGINEERING ROCK MECHANICS PART 2: ILLUSTRATIVE WORKED EXAMPLES : ILLUSTRATIVE WORKED EXAMPLES /

Engineering Rock Mechanics Part II: Illustrative Worked Examples can be used as an independent book or alternatively it complements an earlier publication called Engineering Rock Mechanics: An Introduction to the Principles by the same authors. It contains illustrative worked examples of engineering...
