This Paper sets out to establish the loading on a circular tunnel in the 'elliptical' mode of deformation, making certain simplifying assumptions. The effects of shear forces between ground and lining are
first ignored and subsequently introduced in an explicit manner.
Classic paper from A. M. Muir Wood still widely used for the deisgn of tunnel linings, especially those made of jointed prefabricated members.

Tamrock Surface Drilling and Blasting was a book issued by Tamrock well before Sandvik's take over to be distributed to its customers operating in the surface quarrying/mining field.
Whilst some of the Tamrock's (now Sandvik) machines presented in the book are a little old-fashioned now (some of them, instead, are exactly the same even nowadays), the design and assessment techniques described in there are still applicable and very reliable.

Building Construction Handbook is an authoritative reference for all construction students and professionals. It is full of detailed drawings that clearly illustrate the construction of building elements. The principles and processes of construction are explained with the concepts of design included where appropriate. Extensive coverage of building construction practice and techniques, representing both traditional procedures and modern developments, are also included to provide the most comprehensive and easy to understand guide to building construction.
This new edition has been updated to reflect the 2011 changes to the building regulations, as well as new material on energy performance, and substantial revisions of the section on structures.
Building Construction Handbook is the essential, easy-to-use resource for undergraduate and vocational students on a wide range of courses including NVQ and BTEC National, through to Higher National Certificate and Diploma, to Foundation and three-year Degree level. It is also a useful practical reference for building designers, contractors and others engaged in the construction industry.

Part of the ICE manuals series, ICE manual of geotechnical engineering is the definitive geotechnical reference, providing best practice knowledge for civil and structural engineers.
Good geotechnical engineering requires an appreciation of the balance between theoretical principles, practical experience and the uncertainties present when dealing with the ground in its natural state. Written and edited by leaders in their fields, ICE manual of geotechnical engineering addresses this need, delivering an authoritative, comprehensive reference for the core geotechnical engineering principles, practical techniques, and the major questions engineers should keep in mind when dealing with real-world engineering challenges.
Covering the key topics in geotechnical engineering, from fundamental principles through site investigation and design to construction processes and verification, including problematic soils, and the design of foundations, earthworks and retaining structures, ICE manual of geotechnical engineering is an essential guide and invaluable reference for practising civil and structural engineers, architects, designers, consultants and contractors, working on projects of all sizes.
