TUNNELS. PLANNING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. VOLUME 2

This book concludes the two-volume work written for engineers and designers as an up-to-date coverage of the entire field of tunnelling. It discusses alternatives to boring, namely, cut-and-cover and submerged tunnels, shafts and caissons, geology and ground treatment, and the special features required for road and rail tunnels and their ventilation. An extensive bibliography is appended. For abstract of volume 1 see TRIS 345217. (TRRL)
