This book is intended as a reference book for advanced graduate students and research engineers in rock mechanics related to mining, civil engineering, etc. Environmental and human-induced loading acting on manmade works is disturbed in essence. During construction and operation of major engineering projects, e.g., civil engineering, mining engineering, hydraulic engineering, bridge engineering and petroleum engineering, the structures built in or on rock mass not only bear the complex in situ conditions, e.g., stress, seepage, faulting, thermal and chemical coupling, but also often encounter a variety of stress disturbances during engineering construction and operation periods, the stress disturbance acted on rock mass structures can be low-medium strain rate, and also high strain rate. Along with the constructions on rock mass, a lot of disasters, e.g., tunnel rockburst, induced seismicity and sand liquefaction, are cyclic and dynamic processes.
