Faulting in Brittle Rocks

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the mechanics of faulting in Earth's brittle crust, this book is designed for graduate students in engineering geology and rock engineering. It emphasizes mechanical processes over traditional geological descriptions, revealing connections among various fault types. Organized into an introduction to rock mechanics, it includes practical applications and the Mohr's stress circle method, minimizing complex mathematics. This updated approach builds on previous work while addressing contemporary developments in tectonic faulting.
