198o 816001 INTRODUCTION TO ROCK MECHANICS Goodman, R E New York: Wiley, 1980, 478P Introduces aspects of rock mechanics applicable to civil engineering. Surveys the methods for describing rock ;ropertles including inlex properties, rock strength and defcrmabillty, the ;ropertles amd behaviour of Joints area methods of characterising the state of initial stress. Also discusses specific applications of rock mechanics fcr surface and uniergnounl excavations and f~1~Atlons. 816002 FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS Du~, I S; A~ierson, L R; Kiefer, F W New York: Wiley, 1980, ~l~P An intrcductary textbook on methods of ~--~ysis containing chapters on soil properties, soil water, soil stress, ccm~essibility, consolidation and settlement, shear s t r e r ~ , lateral pressures and retaining structures, slope stability analysis, bearing ca;ecity and foundations, im;rovimg soil coniitions azrl ;ropez~es, numerical methods aid computer al~01ications, ani subsurface exploration. 816003 TECHNICAL TEF~S, SYMBOLS AND D~INITIONS IN ENGLISH, FRENCh, G~a/~, ITALIAN, PORTt~JESE, RUSSIAN, SPANISH AND SWEDISH USED IN SOIL MECHANICS AND FOUNDATION ENGIBE.:hING (STH EDITION) Lordon: International Society of Soil Mechanics a~i Foundation Emgimeerimg, 1981,
