This book includes the best-selected papers on the latest
advancements in underground structures and geological
engineering.The ongoing population growth is resulting in rapid
urbanization, new infrastructure development, and increasing demand
for the Earth's natural resources (e.g., water, oil/gas, minerals).
This, together with the current climate change and increasing
impact of natural hazards, implies that the engineering geology
profession is called upon to respond to new challenges. It is
recognized that these challenges are particularly relevant in the
developing and newly industrialized regions.
The book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of rock
mechanics and to its application to economic construction in rock.
Models describe the mechanical properties and the permeability of
rock. Numerical methods for evaluating the stability of structures
in rock are given to solve special problems related to tunnels,
caverns, pressure tunnels, dam foundations and slopes. Methods for
testing the rock mechanical properties are described. A number of
case histories enable the reader to make use of the content in his
or her own work.
