Published by Elsevier Science. ISSN: 1365-1609.This journal is concerned with original research, new developments, site measurements and case studies in rock mechanics and rock engineering. It provides an international forum for the publication of high quality papers on the subject of rock mechanics and the application of rock mechanics principles and techniques to mining and civil engineering projects built on or in rock masses. These projects include slopes, open-pit mines, quarries, shafts, tunnels, caverns, underground mines, metro systems, dams and hydro-electric stations, geothermal energy and radioactive waste disposal. Papers are welcomed on all relevant topics and especially on theoretical developments, analytical methods, numerical methods, rock testing, site investigation, design, back analysis, and case studies.

由愛思唯爾科學出版。ISSN: 1365 - 1609。本雜志關注巖石力學和巖石工程的原始研究、新發展、現場測量和案例研究。它提供了一個國際論壇，出版關于巖石力學的高質量論文，并將巖石力學原理和技術應用于在巖體上或巖體中建造的采礦和土木工程項目。這些項目包括邊坡、露天礦山、采石場、豎井、隧道、洞室、地下礦山、地鐵系統、大壩和水電站、地熱能和放射性廢物處理。歡迎所有相關主題的論文，特別是理論發展，分析方法，數值方法，巖石測試，現場調查，設計，反分析和案例研究。
