Over the past decades a great variety of anchor types has been developed for a multitude of different applications in soils, jointed rock or homogeneous concrete, and thus the experiences gained served a basis for futher development.
This title looks at geotechnical aspects of underground construction, from bored tunnelling to shield tunnelling, modelling and prediction and braced excavation.
This text covers topics in soil and granular mechanics, such as: slope protection and erosion control; ground behaviour during earthquakes; environmental geotechnic problems caused by underground engineering activities; and morphology, ageing and engineering behaviour of sands.

A discussion of the fundamental aspects of fluid flow phenomena in a jointed rock mass, as well as various geological (structural) features and their influence on flow deformation characteristics.
Grouped into six sections, the papers in this volume address a wide range of issues on the challenges and opportunities facing underground construction, and the use of underground space.
Written in straightforward non-technical language, with numerous diagrams and photographs, this book takes a look at 'the invisible art' of the great builders: how they founded their constructions in the earth and strove to understand and combat the natural forces, such as earth pressures, water, landslides, earthquakes, and almost imperceptible geological changes, with which they had to contend.
This symposium is aimed to promote collaboration and meetings between scholars, professional engineers and the industrial demands of the Asian region, where projects for rock mechanics are very flourishing.
This practical guide describes the stage-by-stage development of a method for predicting the penetration rate (PR) and the advance rate (AR) for tunnel boring machines based on an expanded version of the Q-value, QTBM.

Site characterization is indispensable to good geotechnical or rock engineering practice as every site is unique, but technical, budget, time, or access constraints typically result in only a tiny fraction of the underground soil and rock in a site being visually inspected, sampled, or tested.

The Cemented Material Dam (CMD) is defined as a series of new dam types utilizing cementitious binder together with various natural or manufactured materials in the construction of a dam.
Presenting cutting-edge thinking in the fields of mine and mill tailings, and mine waste, these proceedings also discuss current and future issues facing the mining and environmental communities, including matters dealing with technical capabilities and developments, regulations, and environmental concerns.
Der vorliegende Band fasst den Kenntnisstand per Anfang 1999 zusammen und prasentiert zum ersten Mal in einer umfassenden Art und Weise die grosse Anzahl neuer Daten der Vorerkundung der Gotthard- und Lotschberg-Basistunnels sowie die Hochschulen in den letzten Jahren erarbeiteten projektrelevanten geologischen und felsmechanischen Grundlagen.
The book describes in twelve chapters the modern tools available for the detection and prevention of leaks from dams and reservoirs, including water chemistry, isotope analyses, artificial tracers, permeability tests, geophysical methods and techniques for the localization of water flows both inside the reservoir and boreholes.
