Download or read book Rock Mechanics written by Nagaratnam Sivakugan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock mechanics is a multidisciplinary subject combining geology, geophysics, and engineering and applying the principles of mechanics to study the engineering behavior of the rock mass. With wide application, a solid grasp of this topic is invaluable to anyone studying or working in civil, mining, petroleum, and geological engineering. Rock Mechanics: An Introduction presents the fundamental principles of rock mechanics in a clear, easy-to-comprehend manner for readers with little or no background in this field. The text includes a brief introduction to geology and covers stereographic projections, laboratory testing, strength and deformation of rock masses, slope stability, foundations, and more. The authors—academics who have written several books in geotechnical engineering—have used their extensive teaching experience to create this accessible textbook. They present complex material in a lucid and simple way with numerical examples to illustrate the concepts, providing an introductory book that can be used as a textbook in civil and geological engineering programs and as a general reference book for professional engineers.

Download or read book Engineering in Rock Masses written by F G Bell and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering in Rock Masses is a 26-chapter text that deals with the behavior, investigation, and construction of rock masses. The first chapters review the properties, behavior, classification, and occurrence of groundwater in rock masses. The subsequent chapters discuss the stress analysis, exploration, laboratory testing, geophysical methods, and instrumentation in these materials. These topics are followed by discussions of slope stability, rockfall problems, settlement and bearing capacity, subsidence, and seismic movements of rocks and rock masses. This work also evaluates the role of pumping system, ground freezing, grouting, rock anchors, drilling, blasting, and open excavation. The remaining chapters look into the rock masses’ tunneling, underground chambers, shafts, socketed foundations, and retaining structures. This book will be of great value to practicing civil and mining engineers, engineering geologists, and researchers.

Download or read book Introduction to Rock Mechanics written by Richard E. Goodman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1989 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduces a new approach to rock mechanics called ``block theory,'' which formalizes procedures for selecting proper shapes and orientations for excavations in hard jointed rock. Applies block theory to rock slopes and underground excavations, and covers the Q theory of rock classification, the empirical criterion of joint shear strength, rock bolting, properties of weak rocks, statistical frequency of jointing, an empirical criterion of rock strength, and design of underground supports. Contains many new problems with worked-out solutions.

Download or read book The Bearing Capacity of Building Foundations written by A. Myslivec and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bearing Capacity of Building Foundations describes the different ways of ultimate bearing capacity determination of building foundations. This four-chapter book considers the effect of a horizontal force acting on a foundation. It also examines a situation where, beneath the foundation level in the zone of influence of the foundation there are two layers of soil, including the case where the second, lower layer is formed by incompressible rock. A chapter explores the case where the subgrade consists of a number of heterogeneous strata of soil. The remaining chapters deal with the determination of the permissible load of a foundation and the safety factor, and also the contact stress in the foundation line, since this has a great influence on the dimensioning of foundation slabs. This book will prove useful to practicing civil engineers.

Download or read book Rock Foundations written by R. Yoshinaka and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The function of rock foundations is to support large scale and/or heavy structures such as high dam, long-span bridge, nuclear power station, highrise building or pylon, and without risk to carry the heavy load of superstructures. Those structures founded on rock, generally constitute the important infrastructures for the highly developed urban life. Due to the presence of discontinuities and weak layers, rock masses are intrinsically discontinuous and/or inhomogeneous. Therefore, the evaluation of bearing capacity, deformation behaviour of foundation of rock, stress- strain distribution, and seepage flow in rock mass below foundation, etc. is very important and intricate. This book contains the recent and comprehensive results from research work on rock foundation engineering. The main topics covered are investigation, testing, mechanical properties of rock and rock mass, numerical approach, bearing capacity of rock foundation, seepage flow, design methodology, improvement and reinforcement of rock mass, monitoring and behaviour of rock foundation.
