Learning

Here you'll find a number of useful resources for learning about both rock mechanics and Rocscience software. In Hoek's Corner you'll find Practical Rock Engineering (2007), as well as a selection of other important publications. You'll also find the Distinguished Lecture Series videos in Hoek's Corner.

In the Resource Library, we have books by R.E. Goodman, as well as a list of the publications using Rocscience software.

Finally, we have information on our Education Program, as well as on presentations and webinars for professional development and learning Rocscience software.

Hoek's Corner

Rocscience is proud to provide a reference library on rock engineering, created by Dr. Evert Hoek. Evert Hoek was born in Zimbabwe, graduated in mechanical engineering from the University of Cape Town and became involved in rock mechanics in 1958 when he started working in research on problems of brittle fracture associated with very deep mines in South Africa.
