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 the importance of
ground-structure interaction. This book covers the full range of
areas related to tunnel construction required to embark upon a
career in tunnelling. It also includes a number of case studies
related to real tunnel projects, to demonstrate how the theory
applies in practice. New features of this second edition include:
the introduction of a case study related to Crossrail's project in
London, focussing on the Whitechapel and Liverpool Street station
tunnels and including considerations of building tunnels in a
congested urban area; and further information on recent
developments in tunnel boring machines, including further examples
of all the different types of machine as well as multi-mode
machines. 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 main tunnelling
techniques Health and safety considerations Monitoring of tunnels
during construction Description of the latest tunnel boring
machines Case studies with real examples, including Crossrail's
project in London 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 and novices in
tunnelling.
