Engineering Properties of Rocks, Second Edition, explores the use of typical values or empirical correlations of similar rocks to estimate their specific parameters. Although procedures for measuring most of a rock's properties are standardized and may even be simple, they are time consuming and expensive. In addition, they require well-prepared rock cores, which is often difficult or even impossible for weak rocks. The book is based on the author's extensive experience and is a single source for the most relevant property correlations currently used in geotechnical gngineering, also exploring discontinuities, strength, deformability, permeability of rock masses, and calculations of stress. Presents a single source for the correlations on rock propertiesSaves time and resources invested on in situ testing proceduresFully updated with current literatureExpanded coverage of rock types and geographical locations INDICE: 1 Introduction 2 In situ stresses 3 Intact rock 4 Rock discontinuities 5 Rock masses 6 Deformability 7 Strength 8 Permeability
