In the 21st century, emphasis has increasingly being placed on geo-engineering safety, engineering accountability and sustainability. With focus on rock engineering projects, \u003cem\u003eStructural Geology and Rock Engineering\u003c\/em\u003e uses case studies and an integrated engineering approach to provide an understanding of projects constructed on or in rock masses. Based on Professors Cosgrove and Hudson's university teaching at Imperial College London, as well as relevant short course presentations, it explains the processes required for engineering modelling, design and construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first half of the book provides step-by-step presentations of the principles of structural geology and rock mechanics with special emphasis on the integration between the two subjects. The second half of the book turns principles into practice. A wealth of practical engineering examples are presented, including evaluations of bridge foundations, quarries, dams, opencast coal mining, underground rock engineering, historical monuments and stone buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis up-to-date, well-illustrated guide is ideal for teachers, researchers and engineers interested in the study and practice of rock-based projects in engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosgrove John W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783269561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783269563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imperial College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Cosgrove John W","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440031084799,"sku":"9781783269563","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02c8dd8f-445a-471e-8621-82e1e8d5fc79.jpg?v=1777180142","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/structural-geology-and-rock-engineering-cosgrove-john-w-9781783269563","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
