Support of Underground Excavations in Hard Rock
The safe and economical construction of tunnels, mines, and other subterranean works depends on the correct choice of support systems to ensure that the excavations are stable. These support systems should be matched to the characteristics of the rock mass and the excavation techniques adopted.
Establishing the support requirements, designing support systems, and installing these correctly are essential elements in safe underground construction. This is a comprehensive and practical work which also gives access to user-friendly computer programmes that enable the investigation and design of support techniques. Details on how to obtain this software are also included in the book.
Support of Underground Excavations in Hard Rock by E. Hoek, P.K. Kaiser, and W.F. Bawden is an indispensable resource for engineers and construction professionals involved in underground projects.
