DEEP EXCAVATION - THEORY AND PRACTICE

Most books on general foundation engineering introduce the basic analysis and design of excavation, but are usually not capable of dealing with analysis and design in practice. With continued economic development and increasing urbanization, excavations go deeper and become larger in scale, and are sometimes even carried out in difficult soils. These conditions require advanced analysis and design methods and construction technologies. This book examines both theory and practical applications, from basic to advanced, and discusses the major methods currently in practice around the world. Each chapter also includes problems and their solutions to develop a practical, real-world understanding.
