The failure of rock engineering structures is a well recognized phenomenon and it occurs in different forms and on different scales depending on the geometry of structure, material properties of intact rock, structure of rock mass, environmental conditions and initial state of stress. The topic is in a very active stage of development, and engineers and scientists involved in these developments indicate in this collection of papers that failure phenomena are of great importance in many fields of engineering.
