Description for Faulting in Brittle Rocks
Hardback. This text presents an introduction to the mechanical genesis of tectonic faults in the brittle crust of the Earth, covering topics such as brittleness, stresses in a discontinuum, poro-thermo-elasticiy, effective stress, fracture modes and the corresponding failure and slip conditions. Num Pages: 434 pages, 286 black & white illustrations, 4 colour illustrations, 5 black & white tables, biograph. BIC Classification: RBG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 912.
This book provides an introduction into the mechanics of faulting in the brittle crust of the Earth. It developed from my annual two-semester course on tectono mechanics for graduate students of engineering geology and of rock engineering at the Technical University of Graz (Austria). In this course, it is not my task to present a broad exposition and geometrical description of geological structures, but rather to focus on the mechanical processes that produce the structures. Although this was also the aim of my former book "Mechanics of Tectonic Faulting - Models and Basic Concepts" (1988, Elsevier), henceforth referred to as ... Read more
