METHODS FOR GEOTECHNICAL OBSERVATIONS AND INSTRUMENTATION IN TUNNELING. VOLUME 2. APPENDICES

Volume 2, describing in greater detail instrumentation programs for the various aspects of tunnel design and construction, contains the appendices describing instrumentation for monitoring displacements, strains, loads, and stresses and groundwater pressures. Other appendices cover investigations for ground vibration and blasting damage in rock; microseismic detection; significant rock properties in tunneling; and a listing of instrumentation specialists, suppliers and manufactories. Appendix H contains an extensive bibliography.
