ABSTRACT
The content of the papers can be broadly divided into calculation and design of tunnelling works, excavations, and more general papers. 3 papers deal with excavation, considering 3 different aspects: basal stability, strut loads, and effect on nearby piles. There are a greater number of papers concerning tunnelling, covering a large number of subjects. Among these 12 papers, 1 reports on TBM numerical simulation, 2 present analytical methods for the ground reaction curve, 2 deal with the assessment of the settlement trough, 2 consider the problem of the longitudinal behaviour of the segmented tunnel lining, 3 report on the effect of vibrations or on the seismic response, the 2 remaining concerning more problems related to rock tunnels. Finally there are 4 general papers concerning the simulation tools or presenting a national report.
