About the Author

Prof. Wittke is Emeritus of the Technical University ofAachen, Germany, and General Manager of the engineering company WBIProf. Dr.-Ing. W. Wittke Beratende Ingenieure fur Grundbau undFelsbau GmbH, which he founded in 1980. From 1979 to 1983, he wasPresident of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM),and from 1990 to 2002 President of the German Society forGeotechnical Engineering (DGGT). During his professional life, hehas been working as a designer and expert for numerous tunnels andcaverns. Moreover, he has been dealing with dam foundations andslope stability. Along with these activities, he applied the rockmechanical models and the corresponding numerical analysis models,which he developed together with his co-workers. With the aid ofback-analysis of the stresses and displacements measured during theconstruction and operation of the different structures, hecontinuously revised and improved these models. His ambition is totransfer his knowledge, especially to the employees of WBI and tohis children, working together with him. The results of hisactivities and works are published in numerous papers andpublications.
