The Big Hole in Kimberley (South Africa) is a mine, a huge hand dug excavation site, now merely a tourist attraction.
I heard someone say that planes cannot fly over it because of natural forces. Is that true? If so, how does it work?

I’m using Google Earth to find it. Apparently it is located in the lowlands of Khuzistan ( or Khuzisten ). Excavations were begun there in the 1850’s by W. K. Loftus, and I’ve seen a black & white photo. I would like to see it on Google Earth.

I’m looking for books, data or free stuff about excavation and slope monitoring especialy deep excavations with piles and anchors (procedures, equipment etc)
I have a couple geotechnical engineering practice manuals but i didn’t find anything. Can anyone help with a link?

Amir A asked:


Goals – Purpose of an action.
Objectives- how you are going to do it.

With that said, what are the goals and objectives of site excavation. In other words why do we dig a hole in the ground and how is that done when building a structure ?
