| Summary |
"This book is aimed at both theoretical explication and practical applications. From basic to advanced, the book tries to attain theoretical rigorousness and consistency. Each chapter is followed by problems and solutions so that the book can be readily taught at senior undergraduate and graduate levels. On the other hand, the book also deals with design practice. The analysis methods introduced in the book can be used for analysis and design in actual excavations as they are the correct methods currently used in the engineering circle. Based on interaction between research results, analysis experience and teaching experience, the book is aimed at both teachers and engineers in advanced analysis and design."--BOOK JACKET |
