REPRESENTATIVE GROUND PARAMETERS FOR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF TUNNELS--VOLUME 4. CASE STUDIES

This report is the fourth in a series reporting the results of the above titled study. This document, Volume 4, is principally concerned with summarization of published case studies on tunnel design and construction with a view toward highlighting lessons learned and benefits received from a rigorous subsurface investigation for tunnel design and construction. Volume 3 is principally concerned with summarization of currently used analytical design procedures, ascertaining the geotechnical parameters required as input into these design procedures, and assessing the significance of these geotechnical parameters. Volume 2 is principally concerned with in situ site investigation techniques, but also considers the preliminary phases of a site investigation program, classification and correlation systems applicable to underground design and construction, and large-scale field testing procedures. Volume 1 is concerned with the thought processes and considerations related to the planning and implementation of site investigation programs for tunnel design and construction. It is intended that these documents will provide guidance to those engineers responsible for the planning and implementation of site investigation programs related to tunnel design and construction. This report also will be of value to owners, contractors, and others in the underground construction community. (FHWA)
