{"product_id":"9780128028766","title":"Engineering Properties of Rocks","description":"\u003cp\u003eMore often than not, it is difficult or even impossible to obtain directly the specific rock parameters of interest using in situ\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003emethods. The procedures for measuring most rock properties are also time consuming and expensive. \u003ci\u003eEngineering Properties of Rocks, Second Edition,　\u003c\/i\u003eexplores the use of typical values and\/or empirical correlations of similar rocks to determine the specific parameters needed.   The book is based on the author's extensive experience and offers a single source of information for the evaluation of rock properties. It systematically describes the classification and characterization of intact rock, rock discontinuities, and rock masses, and presents the various indirect methods for estimating the deformability, strength, and permeability of these components as well as the in situ rock stresses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents a single source for the correlations on rock properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaves time and resources invested on in situ testing procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully updated with current literature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpanded coverage of rock types and geographical locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106433941744,"sku":"9780128028766","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780128028766_p0.jpg?v=1763639407","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780128028766","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
