This book provides practicing engineers working in the field of
design, construction and monitoring of rock structures such as
tunnels and slopes with technical information on how to design, how
to excavate and how to monitor the structures during their
construction. Based on the long-term engineering experiences of the
author, field measurements together with back analyses are
presented as the most powerful tools in rock engineering practice.
One of the purposes of field measurements is to assess the
stability of the rock structures during their construction.
However, field measurement results are only numbers unless they are
quantitatively interpreted, a process in which back analyses play
an important role. The author has developed both the concepts of
"critical strain" and of the "anisotropic parameter" of rocks,
which can make it possible not only to assess the stability of the
structures during their construction, but also to verify the
validity of design parameters by the back analysis of field
measurement results during the constructions. Based on the back
analysis results, the design parameters used at a design stage
could be modified if necessary. This procedure is called an
"Observational method", a concept that is entirely different from
that of other structures such as bridges and buildings. It is noted
that in general, technical books written for practicing engineers
mainly focus on empirical approaches which are based on engineers'
experiences. In this book, however, no empirical approaches will be
described, instead, all the approaches are based on simple rock
mechanics theory. This book is the first to describe an
observational method in rock engineering practice, which implies
that the potential readers of this book must be practicing
engineers working on rock engineering projects.
