You may never climb Everest, or reach the North Pole. But how many of your friends have rolled into Chichicastenango on two wheels? Jean-Pierre Panet tells you about getting to Chichicastenango, and dozens of other places as well. What kind of bicycle will you need? How do you get in shape? What will your trip cost? How do you avoid tummy troubles? LATIN AMERICA ON BICYCLE is both a fascinating account of off-beat adventures, and a practical guide that enables you to blaze your own trails.

This book presents the theoretical bases and the application tools for using the 'convergence-confinement' method which is a rational method largely used in design engineering for tunneling. Until recently, the stability conditions of underground works and the choice of support methods were essentially defined on the basis of good practice or empirical methods. The progress made, on one hand on the knowledge of the constitutive laws of soils and rocks and, on the other hand on the numerical modeling of the interaction between the ground and the structures have led to the development of robust...
