Features: Based on a thorough grasp of primary data, this book combines modern mathematical and physical analysis methods, focusing on the detailed description of complex rock mass structures. It proposes a comprehensive system for describing complex rock joint structures suitable for engineering applications and further discusses its engineering applications. The book is divided into 12 chapters: Chapters 1 to 6 primarily discuss the formation mechanisms of rock mass structures, classification and investigation techniques of rock joint structures, interlayer joint analysis, engineering properties of intra-layer joints, and analytical methods for rock mass structures. Chapters 7 to 12 introduce the general survey network method for investigating and describing matrix joint structures, side crack investigation and description, two-dimensional and three-dimensional connectivity studies of matrix joint structures, an information system for complex rock masses, and three-dimensional visualization models. This book is suitable for science and technology professionals in civil engineering, geological engineering, rock mechanics, and for university teachers and students in related fields.
