This practical and design-oriented book focuses on ground
characterization and structural calculation, as part of the active
structural design methodology. With a focus on rock tunnelling it
offers a comprehensive rather than a topic-based perspective,
deriving sound tunnel design criteria and methods from basic
principles. Ground characterization includes excavations, site
investigation, and in situ stress determination, culminating in
geotechnical classifications. The book then deals with various
construction methods and their appropriate calculations, which
range from constitutive models for the stress-strain behaviour of
an excavation and tunnel support elements to a full stress-strain
analysis methodology. The heavily practical approach of the book
draws on the authors' twenty years of tunnelling experience in
Spain and South America. It will help any young or established
professional who wants to develop a career in the underground field
across both civil engineering and geology. As it incorporates the
very fundamentals of tunneling design, it can be used as a support
for tunneling courses or as a textbook for master's and PhD
courses. Benjamin Celada was Chief Tunnel Engineer at Hunosa and
Potasas de Navarra S.A. before founding Geocontrol S.A. He has also
worked for twenty years as Professor of Underground Works at the
Polytechnic Mining University in Madrid, Spain. Z. T. Bieniawski
directed the Rock Mechanics Department of the Council for
Scientific and Industrial Research in Pretoria, then taught at the
Pennsylvania State University for twenty years.
