Tunnellingby Sir Alan Muir Wood
Spon Press 2000; US$ 160.00Covers all the main aspects of tunnelling: planning; studies which contribute to the viability of a tunnel project; the technical aspects of design; the management of construction; and over all project management. more...
Tunnelling Contracts and Site Investigationby P.B. Attewell
Spon Press 1995; US$ 300.00A wide ranging and up-to-date review of experience of tunnelling contracts, particularly those for sewerage and drainage tunnels. more...
Channel Tunnel Storyby G. Anderson; B. Roskrow

Microtunneling and Horizontal Drillingby FSTT
ISTE 2006; US$ 150.00This book includes recommendations prepared by members of the French Society for Trenchless Technology (FSTT), based on their recent national multi-year project. Comprehensive guidelines, techniques and theories in the areas of both microtunneling and horizontal drilling are given, encompassing the fields of application for each method, what investigations should be undertaken, which machines and equipment should be used, how the work should be managed and potential problems that may arise. The recommendations, the analytical methods used and their verification with laboratory and field data should not only improve the rate of success of trenchless projects, but will also be of great value to engineers in other countries, who can compare the... more...
Tunnelling in Weak Rocksby Bhawani Singh; R K Goel
Elsevier 2006; US$ 240.00Vast knowledge has been developed in the area of tunnelling in weak rocks over the years, and this book bridges an important gap by bringing all the information together for the benefit of the tunnelling Industry. In particular, tunnelling in poor conditions is a huge challenge for engineers and designers, and this book tackles all typical problems headon. Topics covered include classification approach, design approaches for site-specific grounds, a new invention on shielded tunnel boring machine, case histories, tunnel mechanics, risk engineering and management culture. . Based on extensive field research experiences in Himalayan region and Alps . Exclusive chapters on tunnelling hazards, squeezing... more...
Tunnel Watchingby Edmund W. Jupp
Intellect 2003; US$ 10.00The aim of the Watching series is to draw attention to some of the very interesting items around us, things that perhaps we don't notice as much as we might. The first was Bridge Watching, and when this was put ''on the Net'' it produced, to the surprise of the author, such a pleasant flood of e-mail that another was written, called Water Watching. This, too, was kindly received. So it was tempting to continue with the theme. Some people find pleasure in taking photographs and some like to sketch or paint, because tunnel mouths are often set in lovely countryside. A train emerging from a hole in the side of a hill makes a good picture, in any weather conditions, whether as a photograph or a painting. On the other hand some people like to just... more...
Tunelling and Tunnel Mechanicsby Dimitrios Kolymbas
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 169.00The book covers not only practical aspects but also the underlying theoretical approaches. It also covers the fundamentals of rock mechanics. It addresses not only students but also professionals who are interested to understand the underlying principles and methods and ? possibly ? to further develop them. Emphasis is given to the mechanical approach rather than to hardly tractable empirical statements. The text is concise and as far as possible complete and comprises a large list of citations. Publications of the English and German speaking scientific communities have been taken into account. more...
Mechanized Tunnelling in Urban Areasby Vittorio Guglielmetti; Piergiorgio Grasso; Ashraf Mahtab
Taylor & Francis 2007; US$ 174.95This expert's account of mechanized tunnelling in urban areas covers identification, evaluation and management of the risks involved in construction in urban areas. more...
Design and Construction of Tunnelsby Pietro Lunardi
Springer 2008; US$ 179.00This work illustrates how the Analysis of Controlled Deformation in Rocks and Soils (ADECO-RS) is used in the design and the construction of tunnels. The ADECO-RS approach makes a clear distinction between the design and the construction stages and allows reliable forecasts of construction times and costs to be made. It uses the advance core (the core of ground ahead of the face) as a structural tool for the long and short term stabilisation of tunnels, after its rigidity has first been regulated using conservation techniques. Tunnels can consequently be driven in difficult stress-strain conditions to predetermined safety standards with operations industrialised and scheduled precisely. Thanks to this approach design engineers have been able... more...
Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnelsby Alun Thomas
Taylor & Francis 2008; US$ 150.00An excellent introduction to the design and construction of sprayed concrete lined (SCL) tunnels, covering all aspects of SCL tunnelling from the constituents of sprayed concrete to detailed design and management during construction. more...
