Book Engineering Disturbed Rock Mass Structural Mechanics  Stress Disturbance and Freeze Thaw on Rock Structure Deterioration

Download or read book Engineering Disturbed Rock Mass Structural Mechanics Stress Disturbance and Freeze Thaw on Rock Structure Deterioration written by Yu Wang and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a reference book for advanced graduate students and research engineers in rock mechanics related to mining, civil engineering, etc. Environmental and human-induced loading acting on manmade works is disturbed in essence. During construction and operation of major engineering projects, e.g., civil engineering, mining engineering, hydraulic engineering, bridge engineering and petroleum engineering, the structures built in or on rock mass not only bear the complex in situ conditions, e.g., stress, seepage, faulting, thermal and chemical coupling, but also often encounter a variety of stress disturbances during engineering construction and operation periods, the stress disturbance acted on rock mass structures can be low-medium strain rate, and also high strain rate. Along with the constructions on rock mass, a lot of disasters, e.g., tunnel rockburst, induced seismicity and sand liquefaction, are cyclic and dynamic processes.

Book Geomechanical Behaviors of Deeply Buried Rock under Triaxial Disturbed Stress Conditions

Download or read book Geomechanical Behaviors of Deeply Buried Rock under Triaxial Disturbed Stress Conditions written by Yu Wang and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a reference book for advanced graduate students and research engineers in rock mechanics related to civil, mining, hydropower, and traffic engineering, etc. For rock mass during construction, they are often subjected to complicated stress disturbance conditions, such as human-induced and environmental loading acting on rock that is cyclic or fatigue in nature. Typical forms of stress disturbance include excavation unloading, blasting vibration, earthquake, drilling and vehicle loading, etc. Usually, the stress disturbance condition is inferred as a kind of dynamic loading and differs dramatically from those under static loads. Along with the constructions on rock mass, a lot of disasters, e.g., tunnel rockburst, induced seismicity and sand liquefaction, are cyclic and dynamic processes. Nevertheless, insufficient attentions have been paid to the influences of disturbed stress on the long-term stability of rock mass construction so far. The discrepancy between theoretical prediction (by approximating the dynamic problems as static ones) and actual performance of constructed engineering structures is usually tolerated. As a result, investigation of the disturbed stress on rock is always vital to the rational design and the long-term stability prediction of rock constructions.

Book Engineering Rock Mechanics

Download or read book Engineering Rock Mechanics written by John A Hudson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-06-12 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering rock mechanics is the discipline used to design structures built in rock. These structures encompass building foundations, dams, slopes, shafts, tunnels, caverns, hydroelectric schemes, mines, radioactive waste repositories and geothermal energy projects: in short, any structure built on or in a rock mass. Despite the variety of projects that use rock engineering, the principles remain the same. Engineering Rock Mechanics clearly and systematically explains the key principles behind rock engineering. The book covers the basic rock mechanics principles; how to study the interactions between these principles and a discussion on the fundamentals of excavation and support and the application of these in the design of surface and underground structures. Engineering Rock Mechanics is recommended as an across-the-board source of information for the benefit of anyone involved in rock mechanics and rock engineering.

It now includes the use of remote sensing techniques such as LiDAR to monitor slope movement and collect structural geology data. The chapter on numerical analysis has been revised with emphasis on civil applications. The book is written for practitioners working in the fields of transportation, energy and industrial development, and undergraduate and graduate level courses in geological engineering.

Book Evaluation of Soil and Rock Properties

Download or read book Evaluation of Soil and Rock Properties written by P. J. Sabatini and published by . This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents state-of-the-practice information on the evaluation of soil and rock properties for geotechnical design applications. This document addresses the entire range of materials potentially encountered in highway engineering practice, from soft clay to intact rock and variations of materials that fall between these two extremes. Information is presented on parameters measured, evaluation of data quality, and interpretation of properties for conventional soil and rock laboratory testing, as well as in situ devices such as field vane testing, cone penetration testing, dilatometer, pressuremeter, and borehole jack. This document provides the design engineer with information that can be used to develop a rationale for accepting or rejecting data and for resolving inconsistencies between data provided by different laboratories and field tests. This document also includes information on: (1) the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Personal Data Assistance devices for the collection and interpretation of subsurface information; (2) quantitative measures for evaluating disturbance of laboratory soil samples; and (3) the use of measurements from geophysical testing techniques to obtain information on the modulus of soil. Also included are chapters on evaluating properties of special soil materials (e.g., loess, cemented sands, peats and organic soils, etc.) and the use of statistical information in evaluating anomalous data and obtaining design values for soil and rock properties. An appendix of three detailed soil and rock property selection examples is provided which illustrate the application of the methods described in the document.

Book Engineering Rock Mass Classification

Download or read book Engineering Rock Mass Classification written by R K Goel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-08-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock mass classification methods are commonly used at the preliminary design stages of a construction project when there is very little information. It forms the bases for design and estimation of the required amount and type of rock support and groundwater control measures. Encompassing nearly all aspects of rock mass classifications in detail, Civil Engineering Rock Mass Classification: Tunnelling, Foundations and Landsides provides construction engineers and managers with extensive practical knowledge which is time-tested in the projects in Himalaya and other parts of the world in complex geological conditions. Rock mass classification is an essential element of feasibility studies for any near surface construction project prior to any excavation or disturbances made to earth. Written by an author team with over 50 years of experience in some of the most difficult mining regions of the world, Civil Engineering Rock Mass Classification: Tunnelling, Foundations and Landsides provides construction engineers, construction managers and mining engineers with the tools and methods to gather geotechnical data, either from rock cuts, drifts or core, and process the information for subsequent analysis. The goal is to use effective mapping techniques to obtain data can be used as input for any of the established rock classification systems. The book covers all of the commonly used classification methods including: Barton’s Q and Q’ systems, Bieniawski’s RMR, Laubscher’s MRMR and Hoek’s and GSI systems. With this book in hand, engineers will be able to gather geotechnical data, either from rock cuts, drifts or core, and process the information for subsequent analysis. Rich with international case studies and worked out equations, the focus of the book is on the practical gathering information for purposes of analysis and design.
