Rock Support and Reinforcement Practice in Mining

Description

The text broadly covers recent developments in ground control techniques, and their at operating mines, worldwide. Specific topics include: design and analysis of support and re-inforcement in metalliferous mines, mesh, shotcrete and membrane support systems, and strata control in coal mines.
