The Analysis and Design of Soil and Rock Excavation focuses on geotechnical site investigation, design philosophy, and planning for safe and stable structures. The title includes real-world case studies to help the reader overcome specific geotechnical challenges. Six chapters cover a general introduction to excavated structures, detail the numerical study of deep excavation, consider adjacent excavation and interference, describe earth pressure on retaining walls, and provide a case study of sub-surface excavation in rock. The title addresses detailed design and construction, paying attention to issues such as systematic investigation, contract consideration, and how to implement surface and sub-surface structures associated with deep excavation.
