      ABSTRACT

      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 structural issues. This book covers the whole range of areas that you need to know in order to embark upon a career in tunnelling. It also includes a number of case studies of real tunnel projects, to demonstrate how the theory applies in practice.

      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 tunnelling techniques
      • Health and safety considerations
      • Monitoring of tunnels during construction

      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.
