The stability of underground and surface geotechnical structures during and after excavation is of great concern as any kind of instability may result in damage to the environment as well as time-consuming high cost repair work. The forms of instability, their mechanisms and the conditions associated with them must be understood so that correct stabilisation of the structure through rock reinforcement and/or rock support can be undertaken. Rock Reinforcement and Rock Support elucidates the reinforcement functions of rock bolts/rock anchors and support systems consisting of shotcrete, steel ribs and concrete liners and evaluates their reinforcement and supporting effects both qualitatively and quantitatively. It draws on the research activities and practices carried out by the author for more than three decades and has culminated in a most extensive up-to-date and a complete treatise on rock reinforcement and rock support.

In the dynamic digital age, the widespread use of computers has transformed engineering and science. A realistic and successful solution of an engineering problem usually begins with an accurate physical model of the problem and a proper understanding of the assumptions employed. With computers and appropriate software we can model and analyze complex physical systems and problems. However, efficient and accurate use of numerical results obtained from computer programs requires considerable background and advanced working knowledge to avoid blunders and the blind acceptance of computer results. This book provides the background and knowledge necessary to avoid these pitfalls, especially the most commonly used numerical methods employed in the solution of physical problems. It offers an in-depth presentation of the numerical methods for scales from nano to macro in nine self-contained chapters with extensive problems and up-to-date references, covering: Trends and new developments in simulation and computation * Weighted residuals methods * Finite difference methods * Finite element methods * Finite strip/layer/prism methods * Boundary element methods * Meshless methods * Molecular dynamics * Multiphysics problems * Multiscale methods.

Innovative Geotechnics PileAXL v2.2, PileGroup v2.1, PileLAT v2.2, PileROC v2 [Size: 24.5 MB] ... Innovative Geotechnics provide geotechnical design tools for pile groups, laterally loaded piles, nonlinear p-y curve generation and rock socket design including single piles or pile groups under lateral and vertical loading based on finite element method. Our programs are focused on the geotechnical analytical knowledge, improving user engagement and reducing potential input uncertainties. All geotechnical programs and software adopt simple input interface for the users to interactively input the analysis information such as soil layer information, soil properties, and foundation parameters. PileAXL. Axial capacity and settlement of single piles under axial loading for both bored and driven pile types. PileGroup. Pile groups under three-dimensional loading - vertical and horizontal forces, bending moments and torsion on the pile cap. PileLAT. Analysis of single piles under lateral loading based on nonlinear p-y curves for various soil and rock types. PileROC. Analysis of load settlement curve at the pile head for rock sockets under compressive axial loading.

The present book provides a new method to estimate elastic-plastic strains via a series of linear elastic analyses. For a life prediction of structures subjected to variable loads, frequently encountered in mechanical and civil engineering, the cyclically accumulated deformation and the elastic plastic strain ranges are required. The Simplified Theory of Plastic Zones (STPZ) is a direct method which provides the estimates of these and all other mechanical quantities in the state of elastic and plastic shakedown. The STPZ is described in detail, with emphasis on the fact that not only scientists but engineers working in applied fields and advanced students are able to get an idea of the possibilities and limitations of the STPZ. Numerous illustrations and examples are provided to support the reader's understanding.
