HANDBOOK ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ROCKS. TESTING TECHNIQUES AND RESULTS. VOLUME 4

This volume contains discussions on the mechanical behaviour of jointed rock and the classification of rocks. A list of miscellaneous properties of rock is included. Appendix 5 deals with stereographic projections, Appendix 6 defines some rock mechanics terms, and Appendix 7 gives imperial, metric and SI units. (TRRL)
