Description
Specifications
This book is the second of two volumes in the series of Technical Geology and Geology of Engineering Works and covers in detail specific chapters of the subject related to the geological factors that affect the design, construction, and operation of various engineering projects, as well as the manifestation of geological disasters, such as landslides.
Initially, the classification systems of rock masses (RMR, Q, GSI, etc.) are analyzed, as well as their application in engineering works. Next, the landsliding phenomena and the stability of slopes are examined in detail, based on International and Greek experience, regarding the fundamental principles, classification systems, causes, mechanism of occurrence, impacts, and mitigation measures.
The engineering geological conditions that define the design of dams and tunnels are also examined in detail, while useful information is provided about the characteristics and construction methods of these large engineering projects.
Finally, the suitability and uses of geosynthetics and mainly inert materials in engineering works are described, along with significant information regarding the uses and quality control of geosynthetic materials.
The book is published in its 2nd edition with the addition of a new chapter on landslide risk assessment, as well as corrections, improvements, and additions to the individual chapters with necessary bibliographic references.
In more detail, the following chapters are included:
- Mechanical behavior of rock mass
- Landslides
- Dams
- Tunnels
- Inert materials
- Geosynthetic materials
The above chapters also include: Complete Greek and International bibliography, characteristic examples and applications, 168 diagrams, 59 tables, 67 color photographs, and 6 color maps.
This is a modern scientific book that contains rich, concentrated, and user-friendly information, thoroughly documented bibliographically. Special emphasis is placed on the experience and knowledge gained in Greece from the construction of large developmental projects completed over the last 25 years.
The book is aimed at all those interested or indirectly related to the field of Technical Geology, namely undergraduate and graduate students of all related disciplines as well as professional geologists, engineers, etc.
