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, petroleum engineering, and radioactive waste disposal. Papers are welcomed on all relevant
topics and especially on theoretical developments, analytical methods, numerical methods, rock testing, site investigation, and case
studies.
The Hemispherical Projection Sphere
The Hemispherical
Projection Sphere will assist you in working out hemispherical projection techniques. The link below shows the hemispherical
projection net which may be copied as required, although care must be taken to ensure that any copy is perfectly circular - non-circular
nets cannot be used. For those readers unfamiliar with hemispherical projection techniques as used in rock mechanics, an introduction
to their use may be found in Appendix B of Engineering Rock Mechanics 1 available at:
