Internationally, the mechanized excavation of tunnels has
intensified in the last two decades, as the number of tunnels being
constructed for subways and railway underpasses increases. The
subject of mechanized tunnelling in urban areas has not previously
received the attention that it deserves, despite there being
specific hazards associated with the construction of tunnels in
metropolitan areas, including poor ground conditions, water tables
higher than the level of tunnels, and subsidence leading to damage
to the existing structures on the surface. The application of
technologies for achieving the stability of the tunnel and for
minimizing surface settlement is described in this book. Accurate
characterization of the ground; rigorous assessment and management
of risk from design to maintenance; the correct choice of a tunnel
boring machine and a plan for the advancement of the tunnel;
specific excavation procedures and real-time monitoring of
excavation parameters are all discussed in this thorough work.
