This book is the second of two volumes in the series Technical Geology and Geology of Engineering Works and thoroughly covers specific chapters of the subject related to geological factors that affect the design, construction, and operation of various engineering works, as well as the manifestation of destructive geological phenomena, such as landslides.
Initially, it analyzes the classification systems of rock masses (RMR, Q, GSI, etc.) and their application in engineering works, while subsequently, it examines in detail landslide phenomena and slope stability, based on international and Greek experience regarding basic principles, classification systems, causes, manifestation mechanisms, impacts, and mitigation measures.
Furthermore, it examines in detail the geotechnical conditions that delineate the design of dams and tunnels, providing useful information about the characteristics and construction methods of these large engineering works.
Finally, it describes the suitability and uses of geomaterials and mainly inert materials in engineering works while providing significant data regarding the uses and quality control of geosynthetic materials.
The following chapters are included in detail:
- Mechanical Behavior of Rock Masses
- Landslides
- Dams
- Tunnels
- Inert Materials
- Geosynthetic Materials
Also included in the above chapters are: Complete Greek and International bibliography, characteristic examples and applications, 160 figures, 55 tables, 57 color photographs, and 5 color maps.
This is a modern scientific book that contains rich, concentrated, and user-friendly information, adequately documented with references. Special emphasis is placed on the experience and knowledge acquired in the Greek context from the construction of large developmental projects completed in the last decade.
The book is intended for all those interested or indirectly related to the field of Technical Geology, including undergraduate and postgraduate students from all related disciplines as well as professional geologists, engineers, etc.
