Description
Introducesa new approach to rock mechanics called ``block theory,'' whichformalizes procedures for selecting proper shapes and orientations forexcavations in hard jointed rock. Applies block theory to rock slopes and underground excavations, and covers the Q theory of rockclassification, the empirical criterion of joint shear strength, rockbolting, properties of weak rocks, statistical frequency of jointing,an empirical criterion of rock strength, and design of undergroundsupports. Contains many new problems with worked-out solutions.

Thanks
This is a very good book for geoscientists working on geomechanics , reservoirs and geothec.
But I think there is a newst edition , trythis link below
