This book is intended as a reference book for advanced graduate students and research engineers
in rock mechanics related to mining, civil engineering, etc. Environmental and human-
induced loading acting on manmade works is disturbed in essence. During construction
and operation of major engineering projects, e.g., civil engineering, mining engineering, hydraulic
engineering, bridge engineering and petroleum engineering, the structures built in or on rock
mass not only bear the complex in situ conditions, e.g., stress, seepage, faulting, thermal and
chemical coupling, but also often encounter a variety of stress disturbances during engineering
construction and operation periods, the stress disturbance acted on rock mass structures can be
low-medium strain rate, and also high strain rate.
