Rock Mass Classification - A Practical Approach in Civil Engineering

Rock Mass Classification

The growing need for this book "Rock Mass Classifications - A Practical Approach in Civil Engineering" has been the authors' motivation for many years. Many questions agitated our minds - Is Classification reasonably reliable? Can it be successful in the crisis management of geohazards? Can a single Classification system be general for all rock structures? Is Classification a scientific approach? Laborious field research was needed to find answers to these vital questions. By God's grace, scientists of the Central Mining Research Institute (CMRI), University of Roorkee (UOR), Central Soil and Material Research Station (CSMRS), U. P. Irrigation Research Institute (UPIRI), and Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) came together. The god gifted ideas and the reliable field data made our task of interpretation less tortuous. Consequently, several improvements in correlations have been possible and thereby practical doubts were cleared. Then followed the consultancy works in above institutions, the success of which further boosted our morale. Finally, the research work was systematicaly compiled into this book in order to generate more confidence and interest among civil, mining and petroleum engineers and geologists.

Rock Mass Classification: A Practical Approach in Civil Engineering

Author: B. Singh, R. K. Goel | Size: 12.8 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Elsevier Science | Year: may, 1999 | pages: 282 | ISBN: 0080430139

Rock Mass Classifications - A Practical Approach in Civil Engineering was written in response to the many unanswered questions regarding this subject. Questions such as - Is Classification reasonably reliable? Can it be successful in crisis management of geohazards? Can a single Classification system be general for all rock structures? Is Classification a scientific approach? Laborious field research was undertaken in the Himalayan mountains by a team of scientists from the Central Mining Research Institute (CMRI), University of Roorkee (UOR), Central Soil and Material Research Station (CSMRS)

Engineering Rock Mass Classification:
Tunnelling, Foundations and Landslides

Author: R Goel & Bhawani Singh | Size: 9.4 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: A Butterworth-Heinemann Title | Year: JUL-2011 | pages: 384 | ISBN: 9780123858788

Rock mass classification methods are commonly used at the preliminary design stages of a construction project when there is very little information. It forms the bases for design and estimation of the required amount and type of rock support and groundwater control measures. Encompassing nearly all aspects of rock mass classifications in detail, Civil Engineering Rock Mass Classification: Tunnelling, Foundations and Landsides provides construction engineers and managers with extensive practical knowledge which is time-tested in the projects in Himalaya and other parts of the world in complex geological conditions.

Rock mass classification is an essential element of feasibility studies for any near surface construction project prior to any excavation or disturbances made to earth. Written by an author team with over 50 years of experience in some of the most difficult mining regions of the world, Civil Engineering Rock Mass Classification: Tunnelling, Foundations and Landsides provides construction engineers, construction managers and mining engineers with the tools and methods to gather geotechnical data, either from rock cuts, drifts or core, and process the information for subsequent analysis. The goal is to use effective mapping techniques to obtain data can be used as input for any of the established rock classification systems. The book covers all of the commonly used classification methods including: Barton's Q and Q' systems, Bieniawski's RMR, Laubscher's MRMR and Hoek's and GSI systems. With this book in hand, engineers will be able to gather geotechnical data, either from rock cuts, drifts or core, and process the information for subsequent analysis. Rich with international case studies and worked out equations, the focus of the book is on the practical gathering information for purposes of analysis and design.



Identify the most significant parameters influencing the behaviour of a rock mass.
Divide a particular rock mass formulation into groups of similar behaviour, rock mass classes of varying quality.
Provide a basis of understanding the characteristics of each rock mass class
Relate the experience of rock conditions at one site to the conditions and experience encountered at others
Derive quantitative data and guidelines for engineering design
Provide common basis for communication between engineers and geologists

Dear Moderator,

I think there are two books in the same list. One is which isurya has post (post 1) and second is one which hich has post. Request you to kindly divide the entire post in two appropriate book title if possible.

regads,
