Несмотря на значительные успехи в совершенствовании технологий взрывных работ и обновлении ассортимента промышленных взрывчатых веществ, их технико-экономические показатели при разрушении скальных пород не всегда удовлетворяют современным требованиям горного производства. Качество дробления является критическим фактором для большинства технологических и экономических показателей последующей переработки руды [1].

In recent years there has been a steady increase in geo-environmental projects where geotechnical/geological engineering has been combined with environmental concerns. Many of these projects involve some form of ground contaminant which can take the form of vapors, liquids and solids. Hence, there has been a change in site characterization techniques to accommodate these environmental issues related to contaminants.

The purpose of this guide is to provide a concise resource for the application of the CPT to geotechnical engineering practice. This guide is a supplement and update to the book ‘CPT in Geotechnical Practice’ by Lunne, Robertson and Powell (1997). This guide is applicable primarily to data obtained using a standard electronic cone with a 60-degree apex angle and either a diameter of 35.7 mm or 43.7 mm (10 or 15 cm2 cross-sectional area).

This volume contains the edited texts of the lectures and written discussions prepared for the NATO sponsored Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on "Numerical Methods in Geomechanics" promoted by the University of Minho, Braga, Portugal and held at Vimeiro Hotel (Torres Vedras) - August 24 to September 4, 1981. The object of the NATO-AS I has been to gather, as lecturers ,a wide range of scientists and engineers specialized on the above branch of knwoledgement in order to cover the whole variety of approaches for the solution of the set of problems concerning Geomechanics.

The role of field measurements in risk assessment and the control of natural geohazards, in engineering design, construction and operation of engineering facilities has grown in the past and will undoubtedly grow in years to come with ever increasing demands on the engineering skills of people involved in these activities. It is therefore necessary to give those interested in instrumentation and measurements an opportunity to meet regularly to exchange ideas and experiences and to stimulate further advancement within field instrumentation.

The Proceedings of EUROCK 2010 is a collection of 6 keynotes and 193 technical papers accepted by the symposium. As an annual European regional event of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM), EUROCK has been a major exchange and discussion platform for the international rock mechanics community. Rock mechanics in Europe has been undergoing some major transformation during the last two decades. The reduction of mining activities in Europe affects heavily on rock mechanics teaching and research at universities and institutes. At the same time, new merging activities, notably, underground infrastructure construction, geothermal energy development, radioactive waste and CO2 repository, and natural hazard management, are creating new opportunities of research and engineering. Rock mechanics today is closely associated with, and indeed part of, construction, energy, and environmental engineering.

There has been very positive feedback from practicing engineers, who need a “go to’’ book, and who have suggested various additions. This encouragement now results in this 2nd edition which uses the similar format of summary data tables and expands the book with additional tables as well as some corrections and additional notes to the tables of the 1st edition.
This book is is principally a data book for the practicing Geotechnical Engineer and Engineering Geologist, which covers:

In this chapter, minimal prerequisites not only for classical mechanics but also for physics, in general, are introduced. Physical dimensions, SI base units, SIderived units, and significant figures are discussed. Four coordinate systems, Cartesian coordinates, plane polar coordinates, cylindrical coordinates, and spherical coordinates are concisely shown. The coordinate transformation, which will be used in later chapters, is discussed. A Taylor series expansion is often used in physics, so that it is precisely explained. <...>

Россия занимает первое место в мире по объему разведанных запасов кимберлита, основная часть которых сосредоточена в коренных месторождениях, расположенных в районах алмазоносной провинции Республики Саха (Якутия).

В книге приведены сведения о комплексе свойств горных пород и углей глубоких горизонтов Кузбасса, полученных при изучении Прокопьевско-Киселевского месторождения. Основное внимание уделено прочностным и деформационным параметрам в связи с проблемой освоения больших глубин н необходимостью оценки поведения пород в различных горно-геологических условиях. В работе приводятся сведения о инженерно-геологических условиях формирования прочности, деформируемости и ползучести горных пород и углей. Предлагается комплексная оценка свойств пород на основе вдавливания плоского штампа, обосновываются теоретические и физические возможности метода. Анализ обширного экспериментального материала ведется на основе расчленения пород по основным структурам; рассматривается возможность использования физико-механических свойств пород при оцшіке горно-геологических явлений.

Монография рассчитана на научных работников, специалистов в области горной механики и проектировщиков
