Felsbau, October 2005 Edition on Bimrocks
The October 2004 edition of Felsbau Journal of Rock and Soil Engineering was
devoted to papers on bimrock issues, including characterization, tortuosity,
slopes, tunneling, and dams. Individual papers are presented above; and the
complete edition here (9MB). The Journal is sponsored by the Austrian Society
for Geomechanics ( http://www.oegg.at).
The October 2004 edition is provided here with permission from the Chief
Editor of Felsbau and the Publisher, VGE (Verlag Glückauf Essen) of Essen,
Germany: ( http://www.vge.de/Engl.html ), who also provided the PDFs.
