DESIGN METHODS IN ROCK MECHANICS

Proceedings contain 26 papers which provide a complete review of current design methods applicable to rock engineering. Specific topics covered include: (1) design on rock foundations (including dam design), (2) design of rock slopes, (3) design of underground openings and supports for tunnels, (4) design of mines and other underground structures, and (5) design of blasting rounds (both surface and underground). Selected papers are indexed separately.
