... describes and analyzes different models of cracks, based on which dependencies, denoting strength of materials and methods for calculation of crack propagation, leading to fracture of engineering structures, are developed. INTRODUCTION Fracture mechanics can be used in solutions of rock mechanics...

.... INTRODUCTION Creep experiments are of paramount importance for assessing the long-term stability of rock engineering structures. ISRM (2007) recognized this issue and a Suggested Method for Creep Test was developed (Aydan et al 2014a). The creep tests have been used in the field of rock mechanics and rock...

... ABSTRACT The role of rock mechanics in the utilization of underground space is becoming more and more significant as the number of caverns are increasing under the central areas of expanding cities. In these areas rock mechanical aspects have to take into account already in the city planning...

... Abstract Structural geology (a branch of geology aiming at describing the structures – joints, faults, folds, etc. – at various scales) can be used in the field of rock mechanics and rock engineering, and particularly in underground engineering works (tunnelling and rock caverns) to gather...
