Rock Joints

hi everyone another book about the brittle field...

Georg Mandl - Rock Joints

PREFACE
This book developed from my annual course on the genesis of joints in rocks, in the
department of rock engineering at the University of Technology, Graz, Austria. As joints
are fractures which, barren or filled with fluid or minerals, interrupt the continuity of rock
bodies, the development of these features is a mechanical process. Hence, the course and,
in more detail this book, deal with the mechanical genesis of joints.
By considering jointing as a mechanical process of fracturing one hopes to obtain a
simpler, more intelligible and coherent picture of the bewildering multiformity and
complexity of joints and joint systems in the field, and to facilitate the engineering
assessment of jointed rocks. However, one has to admit that the mechanics of jointing is
still at the stage of being a loose patchwork of theoretical models, each of which cope with
a special aspect of jointing; but it still leaves many gaps and unsolved problems.
Limited by time and didactic requirements, when lecturing I restricted myself to the
mechanical aspects of jointing that I considered to be well understood. But then, in writing
this book, doubts arose about theories which I had treated somewhat summarily in the
course, and which, I felt, needed to be re-examined, and possibly amended or improved.
Also, when aiming for a more coherent exposition, I occasionally introduced tentative
suggestions and
