Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground
comprises a collection of 118 papers, four reports on symposium
themes, and four invited lectures presented at the seventh
International Symposium on Geotechnical Aspects of Underground
Construction in Soft Ground, held in Rome, Italy, 16-18 May 2011.
The symposium was organized by the Technical Committee TC28
"Underground Construction in Soft Ground" of the International
Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE).
This is the latest in a series which began in New Delhi in 1994,
and was followed by symposia in London (1996), Tokyo (1999),
Toulouse (2002), Amsterdam (2005), and Shanghai (2008). The Rome
symposium was organised by the Italian Geotechnical Society (AGI),
under the auspices of the International Society for Soil Mechanics
and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) and the Italian Ministry for
Public Works, and sponsored by various national and international
companies. Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft
Ground includes contributions from 30 countries on research, design
and construction of underground works in soft ground. The
contributions cover: - Construction, design, and measured
performance of bored tunnels - Physical and numerical modelling of
deep excavations and bored tunnels - Construction, design, and
measured performance of deep excavations - Design methods and
predictive tools for deep excavations and bored tunnels - Ground
movements, interaction with existing structures and mitigation
measures - Activities of TC204 working groups The general reports
give an overview of the papers listed in the symposium's technical
sessions. The proceedings include the written version of the four
invited lectures covering topics ranging from the geotechnical
aspects of construction of the new Mexico City deep sewerage system
(as a special contribution of TC214 "Soft Soils"), to the long-term
settlement mechanisms of tunnels in Shanghai, the lessons learned
from the deep excavations for the North-South Line in Amsterdam,
and the evaluation of the effects of tunnel excavation on
historical buildings, drawing on experience gathered during
construction of subway line C in Rome. Similar to previous
editions, Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft
Ground represents a valuable source of reference on the current
practice of analysis, design, and construction of tunnels and deep
excavations in soft ground. The book is particular aimed at
academics and professionals interested in geotechnical and
underground engineering.
