Sprayed concrete lined (SCL) tunnels are growing rapidly in
popularity due to their versatility. The design and construction of
both hard rock and soft ground tunnels has been revolutionised by
the advent of the SCL method and now the use of permanent sprayed
concrete linings has unlocked the true potential of the method to
minimise construction costs and times. Yet the complex early age
behaviour of the sprayed concrete makes the design difficult and
requires a robust management system during construction.
Consequently the great advantages of the method must be balanced
against the risks, as a few high-profile tunnel collapses have
illustrated. Practising engineers on site, in the design office or
in client organizations will find this book an excellent
introduction. It covers all aspects of SCL tunnelling - from the
constituents of sprayed concrete to detailed design and management
during construction. Although there is a close interdependence
between all the facets of sprayed concrete, few engineers have the
right breadth of experience and expertise to cover all of them.
This urgently needs to be transferred to the wider engineering
community as SCL tunnels play an increasingly important role in the
delivery of the underground infrastructure which modern urban life
demands. In this second edition, beyond a general updating to
reflect new developments, the sections on permanent sprayed
concrete, the innovative technology of spray applied waterproofing
membranes, fibre reinforcement (both steel and macrosynthetic) and
composite lining design have been expanded. Sustainability and
environmental impact are addressed in a new section.
