| Synopsis: |
Tunnelling provides a robust solution to a variety of engineering challenges. It is a complex process, which requires a firm understanding of the ground conditions as well as structural issues. This book covers the whole range of areas that you need to know in order to embark upon a career in tunnelling. It also includes a number of case studies of real tunnel projects, to demonstrate how the theory applies in practice. The coverage includes: * Both hard-rock and soft-ground conditions * Site investigation, parameter selection, and design considerations * Methods of improving the stability of the ground and lining techniques * Descriptions of the various tunnelling techniques * Health and safety considerations * Monitoring of tunnels during construction Clear, concise, and heavily illustrated, this is a vital text for final-year undergraduate and MSc students and an invaluable starting point for young professionals. |
