William Pariseau obtained his B.S. degree in Mining Engineering at
the University of Washington (Seattle) following the geological
option and subsequently earned a Ph.D. in Mining Engineering at the
University of Minnesota with emphasis on rock mechanics and with a
minor in applied mathematics. Prior to his Ph.D., he obtained
practical experience working for the City of Anchorage, the Alaska
Department of Highways, the Mineral Resources Division of the U.S.
Bureau of Mines (Spokane), the Anaconda Copper Co. in Butte,
Montana, the New York-Alaska Gold Dredging Corp. in Nyac, Alaska.
He served in the United States Marine Corps (1953-1956). He
maintained a strong association with the former U.S. Bureau of
Mines, first with the Pittsburgh Mining Research Center and later
with the Spokane Mining Research Center. He is a registered
professional engineer and has consulted for a number of commercial
and government entities.
Currently, he is a professor emeritus and former holder of the
Malcolm McKinnon endowed chair in mining engineering at the
University of Utah. He joined the Department in 1971 following
academic appointments at the Montana College of Science and
Technology and the Pennsylvania State University. He has been a
visiting academic at Brown University, Imperial College, London,
and at the Commonwealth Science and Industrial Research
Organization (CSIRO), Australia. He and colleagues have received a
number of rock mechanics awards; he was recognized as a
distinguished university research professor at the University of
Utah in 1991. In 2010, he was recognized for teaching in the
College of Mines and Earth Sciences with the Outstanding Faculty
Teaching Award. The same year, he was honored by the Old Timers
Club with their prestigious Educator Award. He was honored as a
Fellow of the American Rock Mechanics Association in 2015.
"The 3rd edition of the text book Design Analysis in Rock Mechanics
by William G. Pariseau completes the author’s goal, stated in his
first edition, of including a chapter on foundation engineering
that follows the addition of a chapter on dynamic phenomena given
in his second edition.As an instructor, I use this textbook as the
foundation for the entire class. It is not an easy textbook to
complete. It is dense but clearly written so that one may
understand the physics, and hence the solution approach, behind the
many types of encountered rock mechanic problems. By carefully
reading the text, a set of notes can be developed by the instructor
in giving lectures to their students. The lectures will assist the
student in understanding the assigned reading and associated
problems presented in each chapter. An excellent solution manual is
also available. The first chapter begins by emphasizing the
time-tested engineering approach toward problem solving and shows
in a step-by-step manner the application of scientific laws,
diagramming, and mathematical calculations in the solution process.
This solution process is repeated as new material is presented in
the following chapters of; slope stability, shafts, tunnels,
entries and pillars in stratified ground, three-dimensional
excavations, subsidence, dynamic phenomena, and foundations on
jointed rock. By the end of the course the students will gain a
great deal of knowledge and develop their critical thinking and
problem solving skills to help form them into practicing
engineers."Jeffrey C. Johnson, Associate Professor at the
