Online resources: Summary: "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."--Summary: 4.8 Hazard warning levels4.8.1 Introduction; 4.8.2 Numerical analysis methods; 4.8.3 Critical strain methods ; Chapter 5 Critical strains of rocks and soils; 5.1 Definition of critical strain of geomaterials; 5.2 Scale effect of critical strains; 5.3 Simple approach for assessing tunnel stability; 5.4 Hazard warning level for assessing crown settlements and convergence; 5.5 Uniaxial compressive strength and Young's modulus of rock masses; Chapter 6 Environmental effects on critical strain of rocks; 6.1 Critical strain in triaxial condition; 6.2 Effects of confining pressureSummary: 6.3 Effects of moisture content6.4 Effects of temperature; Chapter 7 General approach for assessing tunnel stability; 7.1 Critical shear strain of geomaterials; 7.2 Hazard warning levels in terms of maximum shear strain; 7.3 How to determine the maximum shear strain distribution around a tunnel; Chapter 8 Back analyses used in tunnel engineering practice; 8.1 Introduction; 8.2 Mathematical formulation of the proposed back analyses; 8.2.1 Introduction; 8.2.2 Assumption of mechanical model; 8.2.3 Mathematical formulation; 8.3 Case study I (Washuzan tunnels)Summary: Cover; Half Title; ISRM Book Series; Title; Copyright; Table of contents; Acknowledgements; About the author; Chapter 1 Introduction; 1.1 Aims and scope; 1.2 Field measurements and back analyses; Chapter 2 Back analysis and forward analysis; 2.1 What is back analysis?; 2.2 Difference between back analysis and forward analysis; 2.3 Back analysis procedures; 2.3.1 Introduction; 2.3.2 Inverse approach; 2.3.3 Direct approach; 2.3.4 Probabilistic approach; 2.3.5 Fuzzy systems, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Neural network, etc.; 2.4 Brief review of back analysisSummary: Chapter 3 Modelling of rock masses in back analysis3.1 Modelling of rock masses; 3.2 Back analysis and modelling; 3.3 Difference between parameter identification and back analysis; Chapter 4 Observational method; 4.1 What is observational method?; 4.2 Design parameters for different types of structures; 4.3 Difference between stress-based approach and strain-based approach; 4.4 Strain-based approach for assessing the stability of tunnels; 4.5 Displacement measurements in observational method; 4.6 Back analysis in observational method; 4.7 Flowchart of observational methodsSummary: "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.
