Fundamentals of Deep Excavations

Excavation is an important part of foundation engineering, but the knowledge introduced in most books is too simple to handle actual excavation analysis and design. This book aims to achieve theoretical rigor and consistency and is suitable for teachers and engineers who are engaged in excavation analysis and design.

Excavation is a crucial component of foundation engineering, particularly in the construction of high-rise buildings, underground oil tanks, or subways. However, the knowledge imparted in most foundation engineering books is insufficient for handling real-life excavation analysis and design. Moreover, with the rapid economic development and urbanization, excavations are becoming deeper and more extensive, necessitating intricate analysis, design methodologies, and construction technologies.

This book serves as a comprehensive resource for both theoretical explication and practical application. It progresses from basic to advanced levels, aiming to achieve theoretical rigor and consistency throughout. Each chapter is accompanied by a problem set, making it suitable for teaching at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels. The solutions to these problems can be found on the book's website (http://www.ct.ntust.edu.tw/ou/).

Furthermore, the analysis methods presented in this book are highly relevant to actual analysis and design, as they incorporate the most up-to-date knowledge. Consequently, this book is an invaluable tool for teachers who teach foundation engineering and/or deep excavation courses, as well as engineers involved in excavation analysis and design.
