岩石力学最早起源于采矿工程,多年来的实践证明了在采矿工程中应用岩石力学知识的必要性。事实上,在岩体中开挖矿山峒室和巷道而不研究岩体的工程特性和工程边界条件,不可能取得预期的安全性和经济效果。建国以来,遵照毛主席关于“开发矿业”的伟大指示,我国矿山建设蓬勃发展,在采矿工程领域中也出 Rock mechanics originated in the mining engineering, the practice over the years has proved the necessity of applying rock mechanics knowledge in mining engineering. In fact, it is impossible to achieve the expected safety and economic benefits by excavating mines and tunnels in rock mass without studying the engineering characteristics and engineering boundary conditions of the rock mass. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, in accordance with Chairman Mao’s great instruction on “mining development”, China’s mining construction has been booming and the field of mining engineering has also come out
