Underground facilities, such as tunnels, sewer, water and gas
networks form the backbone of the economic life of the modern city.
In densely populated areas where the demands for transportation and
services are rapidly increasing and the construction of new roads
and railways are prohibited, the construction of a tunnel might be
the only alternative. Brief and readable, this reference is based
on a combined 75 years of field experience and places emphasis is
on simple practical rules for designing and planning, underground
infrastructures. The books begins with a clear and rigorous
exposition of the classification of underground space, important
considerations such as geological and engineering and underground
planning. This is followed by self-contained chapters concerning
applications for underground water storage, underground car parks,
underground metros & road tunnels and underground storage of
crude oil, lpg and natural gas. The book has 15 chapters covering
various usage of underground space. There are about 135 figures and
tables. The book contains about 20 case histories/examples.
One of the first book to address all of the major areas in which
this technology is used, this book deals with major topics such as:
hydroelectric projects with modern planning of complex underground
structures; underground storages of food items, crude oil and
explosives and highly cautious underground nuclear waste
repositories. Rail and road tunnels and TBM are described briefly.
Risk management in underground infrastructures is of vital
importance. Civil Engineers, Mining Engineers, and Geotechnical
Engineers will find this book a valuable guide to designing and
planning underground infrastructures both in terms of its
applications.
