Structural geology and rock engineering / Структурная геология и инженерная геология

As intimated by the book’s title, the purpose of the book is to
(a) Outline the principles of both structural geology and rock engineering (the latter via engineering rock mechanics) and (b) to explain with illustrative examples why the synthesis of the two  subjects is mutually beneficial.
2 Structural Geology and Rock Engineering The McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms defines structural geology as, “The branch of geology concerned with the form, arrangement and internal structure of the rocks” and rock mechanics as, “Application of the principles of mechanics and geology to quantify the response of rock when it is acted upon by environmental forces, particularly when human-induced factors alter the original ambient forces” <...>
