Scale-Size and Structural Effects of Rock Materials presents the latest research on the scale-size and structural effects of rock materials, including test methods, innovative technologies, and applications in indoor testing, rock mechanics and rock engineering. Importantly, the book explains size-dependent failure criteria, including the multiaxial failure and Hoek-Brown failure criterion. Five chapters cover the size effect of rock samples, rock fracture toughness, scale effects of rock joints, microseismic monitoring and application, and structural effects of rock blocks. The book reflects on the scientific and technical challenges from extensive research in Australia and China.
The title is innovative, practical and content-rich. It will be useful to mining and geotechnical engineers researching the scale-size and structural effects of rock materials, including test methods, innovative technologies and applications in indoor testing, rock mechanics, and engineering, and to those on-site technical specialists who need a reliable and up to date reference.

Hossein Masoumi, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering, in the Faculty of Engineering at Monash University, in Australia. He received his PhD from the University of New South Wales. His research focuses on rock mechanics, particularly the size/scale and shape effects on intact rock, constitutive modelling of intact rock exhibiting size/scale behaviors under different test conditions, shaly-sandstone micro-scale characterization, and non-persistent jointed rock characterization. He has had over ten projects supported by the Australian Coal Association Research Program (ACARP) and the Mining Education Australia (MEA) Collaborative Research Project. He has published over 30 papers.
Dr. Oh received his PhD from the University of Illinois in the USA. His work focusses on combining geotechnical engineering and mine-geomechanics to improve safety, productivity and sustainability in the Australian resources sector. He is involved in several Australian Coal Association Research Program (ACARP) projects and is lead investigator on a project on the fundamentals of rock failure mechanisms under different geotechnical environments. He has published over 29 journal articles,
