TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION (CITATIONS FROM THE NTIS DATA BASE)

Unique tunneling methods, cost studies, tunnel support innovations, tunneling machines, and soil and rock properties encountered are investigated in these Government-sponsored research reports. Vehicular, water, sewage, and mine tunnels are reviewed. Finite element analysis is used extensively for investigation of soil and rock mechanics. (This updated bibliography contains 327 abstracts, 82 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
