Geomechanics Laboratory
Geomechanics is the theoretical and applied science of the mechanical behaviour of rock and rock masses; it is concerned with the response of rock and rock masses to the force fields of their physical environment. Geomechanics have contributed in the general area of earth resources engineering, including civil, mining, petroleum, energy resources, and environmental engineering.
