Tunnel Engineering Handbook, 2/E (Pb)

Tunnel Engineering Handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the state of the art in the design construction and rehabilitation of tunnels in a single convenient volume. It brings together essential information on all the principal classifications of tunnels including soft ground hard rock immersed tube and cut-and-cover with comparisons of their relative advantages and suitability. The broad coverage found in Tunnel Engineering Handbook enables engineers to address such critical questions as how tunnels are planned and laid out how the design of tunnels depends on site and ground conditions which types of tunnels and construction methods are best suited to different conditions; Written by the leading engineers in the field this second edition features major revisions from the first edition including: Complete updating of all chapters from first edition.Seven completely new chapters covering tunnel stabilization and lining difficult ground deep shafts water conveyance tunnels small diameter tunnels fire life safety tunnel rehabilitation and tunnel construction contracting New coverage of the modern philosophy and techniques of tunnel design and tunnel construction contracting.
