Abstract This paper presents the statistics and analysis of academic papers published by Chinese authors in recent 30 years in rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering journals published in Chinese and English. The statistics and analysis also include academic papers citations in the key databases such as EI and SCI. The paper tries to summarize and analyze the situation and development of rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering in China in the last 30 years,especially in the last 10 years. The developments are mainly focused on rock strength and deformation theories,rock fracture and damage mechanics,rock dynamics and constitutive relationships,rock nonlinearity and rock multifield coupling,rock reinforcement and stability analysis. Finally,ten challenging issues are proposed in the field of rock mechanics and rock engineering.
