商品描述

The Observational Method (OM) is a natural and powerful technique that maximises economy while assuring safety. Its key features are highlighted in The Observational Method in Civil Engineering through twelve case histories from major infrastructure projects. They cover protection of adjacent structures including buildings and railway systems, bored and jacked tunnels, shafts and cofferdams, retaining walls, embankments, deep foundations, ground improvement and groundwater control. They illustrate how the OM can achieve more effective collaboration between the client and the design and construction teams, as well as how it can enhance the industry's ability to learn from experience, thus improving future practice and stimulating innovation.

Despite these advantages, the OM is significantly underused. The book demonstrates how the full potential of the OM can overcome a wide range of concerns and constraints. Other chapters address the advantages and limitations of the OM, the key role of progressive modification, the art of achieving agreement and the commercial and contractual environment.

The book will appeal to a range of construction professionals, including civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, contractors and owners. It will also be of interest to students and researchers.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

觀察法（Observational Method, OM）是一種自然且強大的技術，能在確保安全的同時最大化經濟效益。其主要特點在《土木工程中的觀察法》（The Observational Method in Civil Engineering）中透過十二個主要基礎設施項目的案例歷史進行說明。這些案例涵蓋了對鄰近結構的保護，包括建築物和鐵路系統、鑽孔和頂推隧道、井筒和圍堰、擋土牆、堤壩、深基礎、土壤改良和地下水控制。它們展示了觀察法如何促進客戶與設計和施工團隊之間更有效的合作，以及如何增強行業從經驗中學習的能力，從而改善未來的實踐並激發創新。

儘管有這些優勢，觀察法的使用仍然顯著不足。這本書展示了觀察法的全部潛力如何克服各種擔憂和限制。其他章節則探討了觀察法的優勢和局限性、漸進式修改的關鍵角色、達成共識的藝術以及商業和合同環境。

這本書將吸引各類建築專業人士，包括土木工程師、結構工程師和岩土工程師、承包商和業主。它對學生和研究人員也將具有興趣。

作者簡介

Alan Powderham is a former Director of Transportation of Mott MacDonald and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Structural Engineers. Over the past four decades he has taken a leading role in the development and application of the Observational Method and pioneered many award-winning innovations in the design and construction of major infrastructure projects including the Channel Tunnel and the Boston Central Artery. He has served on many technical committees and, as a Visiting Professor at Imperial College, has supported research in foundation engineering.

Anthony O'Brien is Mott MacDonald's Global Practice Leader for Geotechnics and has over thirty years of international experience for transportation, water and energy projects. He has led geotechnical design teams through major projects in the UK, North America, central and south-east Asia. As a Visiting Professor at Southampton University he has led applied research in earthworks behaviour, soil dynamics and soil-structure interaction. He actively contributes to the work of professional committees and provides industry guidance, notably in the fields of advanced numerical modelling, retaining walls, foundation engineering and earthworks asset management.
