description: This book supplies a theoretical and experimental foundation for the determination and formulation of three-dimensional constitutive equations. Describes features such as elastic behaviour, transient and steady state creep both after increasing and decreasing load, volume change (both dilatability and compressibility), instantaneous failure, damage, creep rupture, permeability changes, failure of geomaterials. Determined directly from experiments, this equation is ready to be used in the design of underground structures. Contains examples for several rocks and practical case studies, with future trends taken into consideration.
