Synopsis

This book set provides a new, global, updated, thorough, clear, and practical risk-based approach to tunnelling design and construction methods, and discusses detailed examples of solutions applied to relevant case histories. It is organized in three sequential and integrated volumes:



Volume 1: Concept – Basic Principles of Design


Volume 2: Construction – Methods, Equipment, Tools and Materials


Volume 3: Case Histories and Best Practices


The book covers all aspects of tunnelling, giving useful and practical information about design (Vol. 1), construction (Vol. 2), and best practices (Vol. 3). It provides the following features and benefits:


updated vision on tunnelling design, tools, materials, and construction


balanced mix of theory, technology, and applied experience


different and harmonized points of view from academics, professionals, and contractors


easy consultation in the form of a handbook


risk-oriented approach to tunnelling problems.


The tunnelling industry is amazingly widespread and increasingly important all over the world, particularly in developing countries. The possible audience of the book are engineers, geologists, designers, constructors, providers, contractors, public and private customers, and, in general, technicians involved in the tunnelling and underground works industry. It is also a suitable source of information for industry professionals, senior undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and academics.
