Rock Mechanics, as such, is a comparatively young science. It has gradually evolved from minor branches of activity in Engineering, Physics, and Geology. Today it may be considered as being a separate field of scientific endeavour. The earliest investigations into the behaviour of rocks under pressure were described over a hundred and fifty years ago. Observations related the observed phenomena to geological structures, and were qualitative rather than quantitative.
