Book Description:
Rockfill is an inexpesive material which can be put to many uses in civil engineering, particularly in the field of hydraulic engineering, where its durability, weight, permeability, roughness and flexibility may all employed to advantage.
In this book Professor Stephenson presents the general theory for design of rockfill structures. He assembles and condenses into usable form much research literature on the flow through and over rockfill and the stability of rockfill subject to hydraulic forces. The theory is then applied to the design of such hydraulic works as dams, breakwaters, drainage and earth retaining structures.
An assessment of the properties of rockfill and its applications is accompained by an analysis of flow through rockfill and the theory applied to the design of retaining and protective works. Dam design including underwater construction using rockfill or gabions is described. The design of gabion retaining walls and revetments is covered, as well as the use of gabions for river works including groynes and channel linings. An introduction to coastal engineering accompanies sections on the design of breakwaters, revetments and shore protection, and the reader is also introduced to the theory of transport of rock in channels and by pipeline.
