This practical guide describes the stage-by-stage development of a method for predicting the penetration rate (PR) and the advance rate (AR) for tunnel boring machines based on an expanded version of the Q-value, QTBM. The author analyzes 145 TBM tunnels that total 1,000km in length. He then develops simple formulae to estimate PR and AR from the QTBM value and to back-calculate QTBM from performance data. The book quantitatively explains actual advance rates as high as five m/hr for one day or as low as 0.005 m/hr for several months. It also covers logging methods, empirical TBM tunnel support design, and numerical verification of support.

Rock Joints deals exclusively with the mechanical genesis of joints in rocks. It is aimed at a coherent, critical and comprehensible presentation of the underlying mechanical processes of various types of joints and joint systems. Special care is taken to elucidate and quantify the role of high fluid pressures in the formation of joints. The background is an offshoot of the author's courses on "Genesis of Rock Joints" in the Department of Rock Mechanics and Tunneling at the Technical University of Graz, Austria.

Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf die Grundlagen der Felsmechanik als Basis für den sicheren und wirtschaftlichen Entwurf und Bau von Tunneln, Dämmen und Böschungen in geklüftetem und anisotropem Fels. Es ist in vier Hauptteile gegliedert: Grundlagen und Modelle Berechnungs- und Entwurfsmethoden Erkundungen, Versuche, Messung und Beobachtung Anwendungen und Fallbeispiele. Die felsmechanischen Modelle berücksichtigen den Einfluss von Trennflächen auf das Spannungs-Dehnungs-Verhalten und die Durchlässigkeit von geklüftetem Fels. Dieses Buch ist für: Bau- und Bergbauingenieure Geologen Studenten aus den entsprechenden Bereichen

Joints in rocks, as distinct from tectonic faults, are fractures that form without "visible" displacement along the fracture plane. They are usually interpreted as tension fractures and analysed mechanically by employing a continuum mechanical theory of this fracture mode. "Rock Joints" deals exclusively with the mechanical genesis of joints in rocks. It is aimed at a coherent, critical and comprehensible presentation of the underlying mechanical processes of various types of joints and joint systems. In addition to tension fractures, the book extensively treats jointing from a different origin, i.e. hydraulic intrusion fractures, cleavage fractures, and shear joints. Throughout, special care is taken to elucidate and quantify the role of high fluid pressures in joint formation. Field examples illustrate formational aspects of jointing, and Mohr's stress circle used where possible to simplify the mathematics.
