What is rock mechanics geology?
Rock mechanics is a theoretical and applied science of the mechanical behavior of rock and rock masses; compared to geology, it is that branch of mechanics concerned with the response of rock and rock masses to the force fields of their physical environment.
Why do engineers need to know about rocks?
Rocks are used in the formation of foundation or base of civil engineering projects, because the rocks are more stable and having high strength
(1). The branch of geology that deals with the application of geological knowledge to civil engineering projects are known as geological engineering or engineering geology.
What is the purpose of rock mass classification?
The main benefits of rock mass classifications: Improving the quality of site investigations by calling for the minimum input data as classification parameters.
Providing quantitative information for design purposes. Enabling better engineering judgment and more effective communication on a project.
What are the three main types of stress in rock?
Stress is the force applied to a rock and may cause deformation.
The three main types of stress are typical of the three types of plate boundaries: compression at convergent boundaries, tension at divergent boundaries, and shear at transform boundaries.
