Much of the infrastructure of modern society is buried below
ground. Pipeline, conduits and culverts carry the services on which
our economies depend and the strength and resilience of such
structures is of vital importance. Larger underground construction
is becoming more common in cities and towns, and in defence
installations. This book brings together the store of theoretical,
analytical, experimental and design-based knowledge that has been
built up on the subject of buried structures. The author discusses
the principles of soil arching, stress distribution and soil
properties, as well as the design problems of static and dynamic
loads, strength and safety. The stability of thin-walled buried
structures receives particular attention, as does the behaviour of
underground construction under localized and nuclear explosions.
Test facilities and design codes of practice are reviewed, and the
range of structures discussed in the book extends from thick- and
thin-walled culverts, conduits and water pipelines to arches,
domes, spherical shells, vertical capsules, blast shelters and
thin-walled road tunnels.
