BThe only modern guide to all aspects of practical tunnel construction/b/ iPractical
Tunnel Construction/i fills a void in the literature for a practical guide to tunnel
construction. By taking the reader through a brief introduction and history to a comprehensive
discussion of how the geological factors affect tunneling, the author covers the stages
and technology that are common today without using complex equations. Written for
the individual who does not have an extensive background in tunneling but who has
to make tunneling decisions, the various tunneling methods are discussed to help in
the determination of the appropriate method. The methods discussed are: hand mining,
drill/blast, Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM), Norwegian
Method of Tunnelling (NMT), Roadheader, Earth Pressure Balance Machine (EPBM), and
Slurry Pressure Balance Machine (SPBM). This book focuses on driven tunnels. This
versatile handbook:ulliOffers clear and accessible coverage of the state of the art
in tunnel construction/liliIntroduces the essentials of design and construction of
many types of tunnels, including TBM, EPB, Roadheader, NATM, drill and blast, and
soft ground tunneling/liliProvides nontechnical guidance on selecting the most appropriate
tunneling methods for various situations/liliIncludes a brief history of tunneling
and an introduction to geotechnical considerations/liliDiscusses tunnel access shaft
construction, mucking methods, tunnel haulage, grout, water handling, and much more/li/ul
iPractical Tunnel Construction/i is an important resource for students, construction
managers, tunnel designers, municipal engineers, or engineers who are employed by
government agencies or corporations that are exploring the feasibility of planning
and designing or building a tunnel
