Volcanic Rock Mechanics

Volcanic Rock Mechanics includes papers and special lectures of the 3rd International Workshop on Volcanic Rocks Rock Mechanics and Geo-Engineering in Volcanic Environments which was held within the framework of the Congress âœCities on Volcanoes6-Tenerife 2010â (Puerto de la Cruz Tenerife Spain 31 May â 4 June 2010). The book is a comprehensive collection of the most relevant topics related to rock mechanics and geo-engineering in volcanic environments including: - Geomechanical characterization of volcanic materials; - Instabilities in volcanic islands: Slope stability large landslides and collapse phenomena; - Geoengineering and infrastructures in volcanic environments; - Construction materials. Volcanic Rock Mechanics is of interests to academics engineers consultants designers contractors and professionals involved in rock mechanics and geo-engineering in volcanic environments. .
