A Short Course in Soil-Structure Engineering of Deep Foundations, Excavations and Tunnels By C. W. W. Ng, N. Simons, B. Menzies
2004 | 416 Pages | ISBN: 0727732633 | PDF | 14 MB



The fourth in the highly respected Short Course Series, A Short Course in Soil-structure Engineering of Deep Foundations, Excavations and Tunnels, focuses on the three major geotechnical challenges of static soil-structure interaction problems. Deep foundations piles, barrettes, Multi-propped deep excavations and Bored and open face tunnels beneath cities.
This book gives both students and practising civil engineers an authoritative review of the state-of-the-art of designing deep foundations, excavations and tunnels.

Support of Underground Excavations in Hard Rock

http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/engeneering_technology/9054101873.html

Support of Underground Excavations in Hard Rock By E. Hoek, P.K. Kaiser, W.F. Bawden
2000 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 9054101873 , 9054101865 | PDF | 42 MB



The safe and economical construction of tunnels, mines, and other subterranean works depends on the correct choice of support systems to ensure that the excavations are stable. These support systems should be matched to the characterstics of the rock mass and the excavation techniques adopted. Establishing the support requirements, designing support systems and installing these correctly are essential elements in safe underground construction. This is a comprehensive and practical work which also gives access to user-friendly computer programmes which enable the investigation and design of support techniques. Details on how to obtain this software are also included in the book.

Deep Excavation: Theory and Practice

http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/engeneering_technology/0415403308.html

Deep Excavation: Theory and Practice By Chang-Yu Ou
2006 | 532 Pages | ISBN: 0415403308 | PDF | 19 MB



Accelerating economic development and urbanization has led to engineers becoming increasingly ambitious, carrying out excavations in more difficult soils, so that excavations are deeper and more extensive. These complex conditions require advanced analysis, design methods and construction technologies. Most books on general foundation engineering introduce basic analysis and design of excavation, but do not usually deal with analysis and design in practice. This book covers both areas, introducing methods currently used in modern engineering, which can readily be applied to analysis and design in actual excavations. Based on interaction between research results, analysis and teaching experience, the book is suitable for both teachers and engineers in advanced analysis and design. Each chapter ends with a series of problems and solutions, making it equally useful as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate levels.

Geomechanics and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro, Two Volume Set

http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/science_books/0415612950.html

Geomechanics and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro, Two Volume Set By Mingjing Jiang, Fang Liu, Malcolm Bolton
2010 | 1116 Pages | ISBN: 0415612950 | PDF | 112 MB



Soils are composed of grains but they are generally treated as continua in the classical framework of geomechanics. Their macroscopic response under loading, such as their non-linearity, yielding and anisotropy, is controlled by their micro-structure, the characteristics of the grains and the disposition of contacts between them. There have been rapid advances in technology both to investigate the microscopic properties of soils, and to simulate their granular behaviour explicitly through Discrete Element Method (DEM). DEM was originally used to reproduce element tests, but it is now being advocated for boundary-value problems.
Geomechanics and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro includes 174 peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Symposium on Geomechanics and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro (IS-Shanghai 2010, Shanghai, China, 10-12 October 2010). The symposium provided an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and information on experiments, numerical models and engineering applications related to the discrete nature of geomaterials. The main goal was to explore further advances in the use of micro-geomechanical approaches, and by doing so to improve the understanding of macro-geomechanical phenomena by offering experiments, constitutive relations, numerical analyses and engineering applications associated with the discrete nature of geomaterials. Geomechanics and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro will be of interest to academics and engineers involved in Soil Mechanics, Geomechanics, Geotechnical Engineering, Geoengineering and Civil Engineering.
