Although Rock Mechanics addresses many of the rock mechanics issues which arise in underground mining engineering, it is not a text exclusively for mining applications. It consists of five categories of topics on the science and practice of rock engineering: basic engineering principles relevant to rock mechanics; mechanical properties of rock and rock masses; design of underground excavations in various rock mass conditions; mining methods and their implementation; and guidelines on rock mechanics practice. Throughout the text, and particularly in those sections concerned with excavation design and design of mining layouts, reference is made to computational methods of analysis of stress and displacement in a rock mass. The principles of various computational schemes, such as boundary element, finite element and distinct element methods, are considered. This new edition has been completely revised to reflect the notable innovations in mining engineering and the remarkable developments in the science of rock mechanics and the practice of rock engineering that have taken place over the last two decades. Based on extensive professional, research and teaching experience, this book will provide an authoritative and comprehensive text for final year undergraduates and commencing postgraduate students. For professional practitioners, not only will it be of interest to mining and geological engineers but also to civil engineers, structural and mining geologists and geophysicists as a standard work for professional reference purposes. B.H.G. Brady is Emeritus Professor and former Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics at The University of Western Australia, and a consulting rock mechanics engineer. E.T. Brown is Senior Consultant, Golder Associates Pty Ltd, Brisbane, Australia and formerly Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor of The University of Queensland, Australia.

Underground Excavations in Rock deals with the geotechnical aspects of the design of underground openings for mining and civil engineering processes.

This special re-print edition of E.T. Smith's book "Poultry Houses, Coops and Equipment" is a guide to the design and construction of housing for chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, gamebirds, pigeons and other domestic birds. Written in 1921, this classic text contains information on how to plan, design and build a wide range of functional poultry houses, ranging from the most simple of coops, on up to fully functioning houses. No starting chicken keeper should be without the knowledge contained in this small book. Chapters include The Amateur Carpenter, The Choice of Materials, The Value of Plans, Making Joints, Laying Out a Poultry Yard, General Principles of Poultry Plant Construction, Various Forms of Poultry Housing, Inside the Poultry House, Poultry Runs, Natural Hatching - Sheds and Appliances, Incubator Houses and Incubators, Brooder Houses and Brooders, Fattening Sheds and Cages, Duck and Duckling Houses, Goose and Turkey Houses and more. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
