This combines theory and practice for the design of earth lateral support for deep excavations in soil, along with design methods, basic and computational numerical methods. It is heavily illustrated with practical applications and case histories for practising engineers, and especially for senior and MSc students.

O autorze

John Endicott is an AECOM Fellow. Since receiving his PhD in modeling slope deformation in 1970 he has have worked on a wide range of Civil Engineering projects. Most of his career has been based in Hong Kong. He was Design Director for the Hong Kong Airport 1240 ha site preparation and other land reclamations, and he has worked on over a hundred underground railway stations and has extensive experience on many, water, road and rail tunnels, basements, foundations, slopes. He pioneered the use of numerical modelling for deep excavations with the first diaphragm wall computer programme for Maunsell in 1976, and the first use of FLAC for a Private Building in Hong Kong in 1986. He is a past Lumb lecturer at University of Hong Kong, and is also an Adjunct Professor running part-time MSc programmes at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and at University of Hong Kong, and is a Fellow Commoner at St Catharine's College Cambridge.
