This book is intended as a reference book for advanced graduate students and research engineers in block-in-matrix rocks (bimrocks) or soil and rock mixtures (SRMs) or rock and soil aggregate (RSA). Bimrocks are complex formations characterized by competent rock inclusions floating in a weaker matrix. Typical types of bimrocks include a series of mixed geological or engineering masses such as...

Biography

Wang Yu obtained his Bachelor in Geology Engineering from Chang’an University, his Master in Rock Mechanics from the China University of Geoscience (Wuhan), and his PhD from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS). Y. Wang’s interests are rock mechanics and rock engineering, rock meso-structural mechanics, mining engineering geomechanics, unconventional gas development, open pit mining slope design, environmental geology disaster, and coupled computational modeling associated with shale gas fracking. He is the recipient of China Rock Mechanics Research Award for 2015, a member of Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics & Engineering, CSRME, and China Geology Society IAEG China National Group.
