Engineering-geological Calculations and Modeling

The textbook considers methods of mathematical modeling used to solve engineering and geological problems and based on the use of a mathematical model of the rock massif stress-strain state. It describes the fundamentals of the similarity theory and the field of application and possibilities of experimental modeling of methods of equivalent materials, polarization-optical methods and analog modeling used in the engineering-geological study of natural processes. The book also gives the technique of engineering-geological calculations for structure foundations, stability of slopes, processing of the banks of reservoirs, deformations of rock massifs around underground cavities, deformation of the surface during the development of minerals and pumping groundwater or oil, etc.

For students and post-graduate students of universities and other higher education institutions studying in engineering geology and hydrogeology, as well as specialists engaged in engineering and geological surveys and feasibility studies for the design and construction of engineering structures.
