Features: This book is a summary of the theoretical research and practical work of the Rock Mechanics Research Group at Tsinghua University over the past decade. It includes the research achievements of the group in the fields of rock engineering and theoretical and numerical analysis of high dams. The book reflects the contemporary characteristics of rock mechanics and introduces numerical models and methods required for cutting-edge engineering topics. Based on the theoretical research of rock mechanics, systematic numerical analysis methods such as the finite element method, boundary element method, discrete element method, manifold element method, and discontinuous deformation method are incorporated to study geotechnical engineering problems. Additionally, the book covers the application of innovative technological achievements in rock mechanics, such as oil and gas mining, large dam construction, and nuclear waste storage. This book is suitable for professionals engaged in geotechnical engineering design and research, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in related fields, and technical personnel from research institutes.
