The Analysis and Design of Soil and Rock Excavation focuses on geotechnical site investigation, design philosophy, and planning for safe and stable structures. The title includes real-world case studies to help the reader overcome specific geotechnical challenges. Six chapters cover a general introduction to excavated structures, detail the numerical study of deep excavation, consider adjacent excavation and interference, describe earth pressure on retaining walls, and provide a case study of sub-surface excavation in rock. The title addresses detailed design and construction, paying attention to issues such as systematic investigation, contract consideration, and how to implement surface and sub-surface structures associated with deep excavation.
- Gives key theoretical and practical guidance for geotechnical site investigation, design and construction of excavated facilities
- Takes a systematic approach to geological challenges, including real-world examples and case studies
- Includes all the information needed to implement surface and sub-surface structures associated with deep excavation
- Provides data, information and guidance based on many years of practical experience in excavation
