Download or read book Underground Structures written by R.S. Sinha and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the most up to date information relevant to the design and instrumentation of underground structures. The structure might be a tunnel, shaft, cavern, or pressure unit, or a combination thereof. Empirical, rational, numerical, convergence and confinement, and discontinuity analysis methods are treated comprehensively. Special chapters are devoted to underground structures in rock burst, swelling, squeezing, and seismic zones. Water control, instrumentation, and tunneling through soft ground are also treated extensively. Sections on the design of pressure tunnels, shafts, caverns, shotcreting, water control, and soft ground tunnels are informative and authoritative. Worked examples are included on the design of rock tunnels, soft ground tunnels, and the treatment of underground structures through difficult ground. Extensive references are provided, and figures, sketches and photographs aid presentation. Important tables on planning, and case histories, allow the reader to build confidence in his design of underground structures. The book will be beneficial to civil, structural, geotechnical and mining engineers, geologists, and planners and managers associated with the design and construction of underground structures.

Download or read book Design Procedures for Shock Isolation Systems of Underground Protective Structures Volume 2 Structure Interior Motions Due to Directly Transmitted Ground Shock written by F. Finlayson and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a method for estimating the motions on the interior of a buried cylindrical shell resulting from directly-induced ground shock caused by the detonation of a nuclear device to aid in the preliminary design of shock isolation equipment. Various theoretical models for calculating the free-field waveform are reviewed and the acoustic model is recommended for this purpose. The reasons for this recommendation are enumerated and the methods for applying it are given. Methods for solving the structure-medium- interaction problem are discussed and the normal-mode analysis of the response of an elastic cylindrical shell in an acoustic medium to a specified input pulse is reviewed in detail. A discussion of ranges of parameters appropriate to realistic problems is included. A thorough explanation of the results of computer solutions for the shell response is presented, and a large number of graphs illustrating the results are included. The results are analyzed to determine the relative influence of the parameters on interior shell motion. The application of the method developed is explained and illustrated by sample problems. An appendix contains a Duhamel-integral computer program that can be used to generate results for cases not included in this volume.
Download or read book Design of Underground Structures written by Zhen-Dong Cui and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a general review of the literature on underground structures, combined with new specifications, engineering case studies, and numerical simulations based on the authors’ research. It focuses on the basic concepts, theories, and methods of the design of underground structures. After an introduction, it covers various topics, such as elastic foundation beam theory and numerical analysis methods for underground structures, as well as the design of shallow underground structures, diaphragm wall structures, shield tunnel structures, caisson structures, immersed tube structures, and integral tunnel structures. It also includes tables for calculating elastic foundation beam. This book is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students majoring in urban underground space engineering, building engineering, highway engineering, railway engineering, bridge and tunnel engineering, water conservancy and hydropower engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original purpose of this investigation was to provide a protective shelter that could be constructed and occupied in a forward area within one weeks time by an engineer platoon with a normal strength (at the time this study was initiated) of 51 men. However, it should be pointed out that the structure as finally designed can be built and occupied by any troop unit of comparable strength with a minimum of engineer equipment, assistance and engineering supervision.
Download or read book Charts for Preliminary Design of Deep Underground Structures Subjected to Dynamic Loads written by James R. Britt and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents charts suitable for preliminary dynamic design of deep underground protective structures in rock subjected to long-duration ground shock loadings produced by nuclear weapons. The charts were calculated using a theoretical model which consists of multilayered concentric cylinders of elastoplastic materials with a time-dependent, axially symmetric applied load representing the free-field stress. Each element in the cross section is assumed to be incompressible and its yield is governed by a Monr-Coulomb failure criterion. A first-order correction factor is given to account for compressibility of the materials. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the development of research into the explosive loading of structures, mainly since the beginning of the twentieth century. Major contributions in the fields of measurement, analysis and prediction are discussed. Dynamic loading from conventional high explosives is examined, as well as the effects of liquid propellant, dust, gas, vapour, and fuel/air explosions. Subjects include blast in tunnels, underground and underwater explosions, pressure measurement and blast stimulation. Explosive effects on civil buildings, civil bridges, aircraft and ships are summarized, including the estimation of residual strength. The concluding passages refer to structural safety and reliability.
