Engineering geology for underground rocks is a sub-discipline of engineering
geology for describing and solving geological engineering problems encountered
in underground mining, petroleum and civil engineering. It covers rock mechanics
for underground rocks, rock hydraulics, wellbore mechanics, mine geology and mine
hydrogeology.

This book clearly and systematically explains underground engineering geology
principles, methods, theories and case studies, depicts engineering problems in
underground rock engineering and how to study and solve them. It specially
emphasizes mechanical and hydraulic couplings in rock engineering for wellbore
stability, mining near aquifers and other underground structures where inflow is
a problem. Using the methods and models given in this book, the reader is able to
analyse underground geological engineering problems and also for the design of
underground structures.

Professionals and students in engineering geology, geological, mining, petroleum,
civil engineering, rock mechanics, and mine geology will find this an essential
reference.
