TUNNELLING UNDER DIFFICULT CONDITIONS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL TUNNEL SYMPOSIUM, TOKYO 1978

Some of the papers presented at the symposium were: some recent progress in tunnel construction in France (pera,j and bougard,m); the "olimpia" tunnel on the autostrada dei trafori: consolidation under difficult conditions (padovan,g and pigorini,b); New Zealand experience with engineering classifications of rock for the prediction of tunnel support (preston,rl and rutledge,jc); first tunnelling project in Thailand (tungasvadi,b); the design and development of segmental tunnel linings in the UK (lyons,ac); current tunnel design, construction, and research in the u.s. (deere,du); the reasons for unsuccessful applications of the new Austrian tunnelling method (muller-salzburg,l); seikan undersea tunnel (fujita,m); tunnel support against increasing earth pressure (murayama,s); protection of tunnel excavations in weak plastic rocks - example of roof-bolting system (gergowicz,z, galczynski,s and dudek,j); a design method for tunnels composed of plane elements (makhlouf,n); water inflow during the period of excavation of tunnels (thunvik,r and braester,c); forecasting the hazard of water inrush and new possibilities of fighting against them in construction tunnels (kapolyi,l, schmieder,a and kesserue,zs); tunnel planning in shinkansen project (yoshimura,h); the design and construction of railway tunnel in soft, clayey alluvial soil (hama, k).
