Rock mechanics is the field that studies the mechanical behavior of rock and rock masses esp, their strength, elasticity, permeability, porosity, density, and stress reaction. Rock mechanics is closely related to geology and is applied in mining, tunneling, petroleum and civil engineering practice. Basically rock mechanics is concerned with the application of the principles of engineering mechanics to the design of rock structures. In this section related publications for rock mechanics are provided.

ROCKFALL SUSCEPTIBILITY MAPS FOR NEW MEXICO (2017)
<p>Using a dataset of preexisting mapped landslides, we create two maps that provide a firstorder approximation of rockfall susceptibility for the state of New Mexico. In natural hazard assessments, the term 'susceptibility' is used to describe the natural ...

TREE-RING BASED RECONSTRUCTION OF ROCKFALLS AT COFRE DE PEROTE VOLCANO, MEXICO (2017)
<p>In this study, dendrogeomorphic techniques are employed to analyse the temporal frequency and spatial distribution of rockfalls on a talus slope of La Teta valley, located on the NW slopes of Cofre de Perote volcano at ~4000 m above sea level. Based on ...

ASSESSMENT OF ROCKFALL HAZARD ON THE STEEP-HIGH SLOPES: ERMENEK (KARAMAN, TURKEY) (2016)
<p>Ermenek is one of the curious settlement areas because of its topographical features in Karaman (Turkey). The city is located in northern side of the very steep cliffs formed by jointed limestone which are suddenly increased from 1250m to 1850 m. Moreover, ...

EVALUATION OF THE DIFFERENCES IN CHARACTERIZATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE ROCK MASS QUALITY (2015)
<p>In the construction of a tunnel, the characterization of the rock mass is performed in three different steps, in the pre-investigations, in the engineering geological forecast and in the tunnel mapping during construction. There has in previous work been ...

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION OF SLOPES ALONG THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY (NH-1D) FROM KARGIL TO LEH, JAMMU AND KASHMIR (INDIA) (2015)
<p>The national highways are always considered as the economic backbone of the country and have often assisted development work all along their routes. The National Highway (NH-1D) is the most strategic and the only all weather surface link between the two ...

IN-SITU ROCK STRESS AND TUNNEL STABILITY (2015)
<p>Stability and potential failure mode of tunnels and underground rock caverns are directly related to the magnitude and orientation of the in-situ rock stress. In some cases, the high horizontal in-situ stress is essential in maintaining cavern stability, ...

REVIEW ON ROCKBURST THEORY AND TYPES OF ROCK SUPPORT IN ROCKBURST PRONE MINES (2015)
<p>As the depth of mining increases, the occurrence of seismic events is becoming a more common phenomenon causing serious problems regarding to the stability and safety of mines. However, seismicity and the accompanying rockburst phenomena are not a well-defined ...
