Features: The content of this book can be summarized into five parts. Part I is an overview of the frontiers of rock hydraulics and engineering, including two chapters: Chapter 1: Introduction, Chapter 2: Rock Hydraulics and Several Major Engineering Accidents; The second part is the basic theories of rock hydraulics, including six chapters: Chapter 3: Hydraulic Properties of Intact Rock, Chapter 4: Study on Hydraulic Characteristics of Single Fracture, Chapter 5: Fracture Measurement, Statistics, and Computer Generation of Fracture Networks, Chapter 6: Hydraulic Mechanics of Fracture Networks, Chapter 7: Permeability Tensor of the Equivalent Continuum Model, Chapter 8: Some Problems of Flow Analysis in the Equivalent Continuum Model; The third part is rock hydraulics problems in rock engineering, including five chapters: Chapter 9: Initial Flow Field in Mountain Masses, Chapter 10: Interaction Between Dams, Reservoir Water, and Foundations, Chapter 11: Rock Hydraulics and Rock Slope Engineering, Chapter 12: Tunnel Engineering in Rock, Chapter 13: Large Underground Cavities; The fourth part is discussion and summary, i.e., Chapter 14; The fifth part is appendices, including the tensor index notation, the basic formula of the probability density function, and an introduction to fractal geometry. For easy reference, the book includes references at the end, as well as a subject index, author index, and geographical index. The content of this book is detailed, with numerous engineering cases and illustrations. It is suitable for researchers, engineering technicians, and students and teachers of relevant disciplines in fields such as water conservancy and hydropower, railways, highways, mining, and military industries.
