Tunnelling and Tunnel Mechanics (eBook, PDF)

A Rational Approach to Tunnelling

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers not only practical aspects but also the underlying theoretical approaches. It also covers the fundamentals of rock mechanics. The book addresses not only students but also professionals who are interested to understand the underlying principles and methods and – possibly – to further develop them. Emphasis is given to the mechanical approach rather than to hardly tractable empirical statements. The text is concise and comprises a large list of citations.
