Description
Taylor & Francis Ltd Design Analysis In Rock Mechanics 3Rd Edition 2017 by William G. Pariseau
This comprehensive introduction to rock mechanics treats the basics of rock mechanics in a clear and straightforward manner and discusses important design problems in terms of the mechanics of materials. This extended third edition includes an additional chapter on Foundations on Jointed Rock. Developed for a complete class in rock engineering, this volume uniquely combines the design of surface and underground rock excavations and addresses:* rock slope stability in surface excavations, from planar block and wedge slides to rotational and toppling failures * shaft and tunnel stability, ranging from naturally-supported openings to analysis and design of artificial support and reinforcement systems * entries and pillars in stratified ground * three-dimensional caverns, with emphasis on cable bolting and backfill * geometry and forces of chimney caving, combination support and trough subsidence * rock bursts and bumps in underground excavations, with focus on dynamic phenomena and on fast and sometimes catastrophic failures. The numerous exercises and examples familiarize the reader with solving basic practical problems in rock mechanics through various design analysis techniques and their applications. Supporting the main text, appendices provide supplementary information about rock, joint, and composite properties, rock mass classification schemes, useful formulas, and an extensive literature list. The large selection of problems at the end of each chapter can be used for home assignment. A solutions manual is available to course instructors. Explanatory and illustrative in character, this volume is suited for courses in rock mechanics, rock engineering and geological engineering design for undergraduate and first year graduate students in mining, civil engineering and applied earth sciences. Moreover, it will form a good introduction to the subject of rock mechanics for earth scientists and engineers from other disciplines. 1 Introduction 1.1 A practical design objective 1.2 Problem solving 1.3 Units 1.4 Background information 1.5 Problems 2 Slope stability 2.1 Translational rock slope failures 2.2 Rotational slope failures 2.3 Problems 3 Shafts 3.1 Single unlined naturally supported shafts 3.2 Shaft wall support and liners 3.3 Multiple naturally supported shafts 3.4 Problems 4 Tunnels 4.1 Naturally supported tunnels 4.2 Tunnel support 4.3 Problems 5 Entries in stratified ground 5.1 Review of beam analysis 5.2 Softrock entries 5.3 Problems 6 Pillars in stratified ground 6.1 Pillars in a single seam 6.2 Pillars in dipping strata 6.3 Pillars with joints 6.4 Pillars in several seams 6.5 Barrier pillars 6.6 Problems 7 Three-dimensional excavations 7.1 Naturally supported caverns and stopes 7.2 Joints in cavern and stope walls 7.3 Tabular excavations 7.4 Cavern and stope support 7.5 Problems 8 Subsidence 8.1 Chimneys 8.2 Troughs 8.3 Problems 9 Dynamic phenomena 9.1 Fundamentals of wave propagation 9.2 Rock bursts and bumps 9.3 Event location 9.4 Problems 10 Foundations on jointed rock 10.1 Plane plastic strain 10.2 Uniformly loaded strip 10.3 Bearing capacity near the surface 10.4 Problems Appendix A: Background literature A.1 Books about fundamentals of mechanics A.2 Books about rock mechanics A.3 Books containing rock properties A.4 General sources of rock mechanics information Appendix B: Mechanical properties of intact rock and joints B.1 Elastic moduli of intact rock B.2 Strength of intact rock B.3 Joint stiffness B.4 Joint strength B.5 Simple combinations of intact rock and joints Appendix C: Rock mass classification schemes for engineering C.1 Rock quality designation C.2 Terzaghi modified scheme C.3 RSR, RMR, and Q C.4 Comparisons of Hp estimates C.5 GSI C.6 Comment Appendix D: Some useful formulas D.1 Stress D.2 Strain D.3 Stress-strain relationships, Hooke's law
