Earth Pressureand Earth-RetainingStructuresThird EditionChris R.I. Clayton,Rick I. Woods,Andrew J. Bond,and Jarbas Milititsky

This classic workbook has long been recognized as acomprehensive introduction to the mechanisms ofearth pressure, and as a thorough guide to the designrequirements for retaining structures. It has now beenentirely restructured and revised, providing signifi-cantly more support to help non-specialists under-stand the geotechnical issues and supply backgroundto uncertainty of parameters and partial factor issuesthat underpin recent codes such as Eurocode 7. Itcomprehensively covers the principles of the geotech-nical design of gravity walls, embedded walls, andcomposite structures.

CentrifugeModelling forCivil EngineersGopal MadabhushiUniversity of Cambridge, UK

This book on centrifuge mod-elling begins with the basics,then gradually moves on tomethods and applications suchas shallow foundations, retaining walls, and pile foun-dations. Its coverage proceeds to tackle increasinglymore complex issues such as tunnelling beneath exist-ing pile foundations and assessing the stability ofbuildings and their foundations following earthquake-induced soil liquefaction. It addresses the use of mod-ern imaging techniques, as well as data acquisitionand modelling techniques. It also explains the neces-sary signal processing tools that are used to deciphercentrifuge test data.

Federico MazzolaniUniversity of Naples Federico II,Napoli, Italy

Observation and research intothe performance of steel structures during recentlarge earthquakes, such as those in Mexico City, LomaPrieta, Northridge, and Kobe, has produced somevery interesting results, not least in emphasizing dif-ferences in the seismic effects of near-source and far-source earthquakes. This book presents a criticalreview of the huge amount of technical informationgenerated from these observations. The authors con-sider all types of steel structures and present a newphilosophy for effective and safe design.

There are other books onunsaturated soil mechanics,but this book is different. Inmost climatic zones, rainfall varies during the year andthe depth of the water table varies sympathetically. Inapplying unsaturated soil mechanics in practice, it istherefore important to realize and allow for the prob-ability that soil will, either seasonally or occasionally,pass from the unsaturated to the saturated state andeven from unsaturation to dryness. This is the onlybook that looks specifically at this essential practicalaspect.

The authors pro-vide numerical examples on the effect of independentvariables on dependent variables, as well as examplesfrom real-life mining and civil engineering jobs. Thebook assists students and engineers in machineryselection and performance prediction, and discussesrock cutting mechanics and mechanical miners.

Genadiy Pivnyak,Volodymyr Bondarenko,and Iryna Kovalevs'kaNational Mining University, Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine

Innovative technologies helping to increase technical-economic indices, as well as extraction volume, work-ing efficiency, and safety rules are discussed in thisbook. Unmanned mineral extraction technologiesand use of plough systems are among some of themost current trends in modern mining development,so a large amount of attention is paid to these topicsin this volume. Alternative resources such as gashydrates and alternative minerals, and extractiontechnologies such as underground coal gasification,are also described in this collection of scientific papers.

Guidelines forOpen Pit SlopeDesignEdited by

John ReadCSIRO, Earth Sciences andResource Engineering, Kenmore,Australia

Peter StaceyStacey Mining Geotechnical Ltd,Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

This book links innovative mining geomechanicsresearch with the strength of closely jointed rockmasses and the most recent advances in numericalmodelling, offering effective ways to predict the relia-bility of rock slopes in open pit mines. It describes thekey elements of slope design, the required levels ofeffort, and the acceptance criteria needed to satisfybest practices with respect to pit slope investigation,design, implementation, and performance monitor-ing.

Introduction to TunnelConstructionDavid Chapman and Nicole MetjeUniversity of Birmingham, UK

Alfred StrkBeton- und Monierbau GmbH,Austria

Tunnelling offers a robust solution to a variety of engi-neering challenges. This book covers the whole rangeof information that tunnel engineers need to know,providing a solid understanding of hard-rock and soft-ground conditions, site investigation, parameter selec-tion, design considerations, methods of improvingthe stability of the ground, lining techniques, healthand safety considerations, and monitoring of tunnelsduring construction. It also includes a number of casestudies from real tunnelling projects to demonstratehow theories are applied in practice.
