The fourth in the highly respected Short Course Series, A Short Course in Soil-structure Engineering of Deep Foundations, Excavations and Tunnels, focuses on the three major geotechnical challenges of static soil-structure interaction problems. Deep foundations - piles, barrettes, Multi-propped deep excavations and Bored and open face tunnels beneath cities.This book gives both students and practising civil engineers an authoritative review of the state-of-the-art of designing deep foundations, excavations and tunnels. In addition, the case studies and numerical modelling p

Although there are now a large number of computer programmes for solving all sorts of foundation design problems, the need to check these outputs by hand-calculation has become vitally important. This book concentrates on getting the fundamentals right and then using them in practical applications.The book is illustrated with numerous worked examples and with quick-reference tables and charts.

This work comprehensively combines soil and rock slope engineering in the one volume. With the increasing number of computer programs for solving slope stability problems, the need to check the outputs by hand calculation has become vitally important. Like its acclaimed companion volume A Short Course in Foundation Engineering this title focuses on getting the fundamentals right, explaining simple methods of stability analysis, and applying them to a wide range of practical applications. The title is illustrated with numerous worked examples and case studies, and with quick-reference tables and charts.
