Proceedings of GeoShanghai 2018 International Conference: Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2018

This book is the third volume of the proceedings of the 4th GeoShanghai International Conference that was held on May 27 - 30, 2018. This volume, entitled ?Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering? , covers the recent advances and technologies in rock mechanics and rock engineering. These papers are grouped in three categories: (1) Theoretical and numerical study of rock behaviours, (2) Experimental study of rock behaviours, and (3) Applications of rock mechanics and case studies. This volume presents the state-of-the-art theories, methodologies and findings in the related areas. The book may benefit researchers and scientists from the academic fields of rock mechanics and rock engineering, geotechnical engineering, geoenvironmental engineering, transportation engineering, geology, mining and energy, as well as practical engineers from the industry.

Each of the papers included in this book received at least two positive peer reviews.  The editors would like to express their sincerest appreciation to all of the anonymous reviewers all over the world, for their diligent work.

Bruno Goncalves da Silva earned his PhD and MSc from MIT with a concentration in Geotechnical Engineering, and a BSc from Instituto Superior Tecnico, in Portugal, with a focus in Structural Engineering. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Cheng Zhao received his PhD at Nagasaki University with a concentration in Geotechnical Engineering, He has been a member in the Department of Geotechnical Engineering, Tongji University since 2010, and is currently an Associate Professor.
