Back Analysis in Rock Engineering (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

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. 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.

Autorenporträt

Prof. Sakurai studied Civil Engineering at Kobe University (B.E) and at Kyoto University (M.E), and finally at Michigan State University USA (Ph.D). He also received his Dr Eng. degree from Nagoya University, Japan.
Prof. Sakurai worked at Kobe University as Professor of rock mechanics, and of structural mechanics, and then worked at the Hiroshima Institute of Technology as President. He is now Professor Emeritus of Kobe University, and also Professor Emeritus of Hiroshima Institute of Technology.
Professionally, Prof. Sakurai has been involved in various types of Rock Mechanics projects (hydropower, nuclear power, pumped storage, compressed air energy storage schemes, highway and railway tunnels, slopes etc.) in Japan and abroad.

His research interests have been connected to numerical analysis particularly back analysis and field measurements. The aim of these research activities is mainly concerned with building a bridge between theory and practice.
