Shield Construction Techniques in Tunnelling presents the latest on
this fast, environmentally-friendly and relatively safe
construction technique, reflecting on its technical risks and
challenges as seen in China. Sections introduce the type of
shields, the history of the technique, shielding principles,
selection, management, the latest techniques in operation, consider
engineering cases, discuss construction in gravel, soft-soil,
composite, and rock strata, and present video clips of construction
that are accessible through QR codes embedded in the text. The book
combines theory and practical experience, giving the reader unique
insights into shield equipment and construction techniques. The
shield tunneling technique is being used very widely, particularly
in China, which is building urban-rail transit systems at an
unparalleled scale and speed. The use of tunneling-shields provides
a fast, relatively-safe, and ecologically-friendly method for the
construction of tunnels. However, a number of incidents have shown
the risks involved in tunnelling through geologically complex
areas.
