(Continued from TRIS No. 325113). Surface settlement above underground tubes and stations in bad soil (rozsa,l); the construction and technology problems of station tunnels of prague-subway (gran,j); the potentialitie inherent in using new methods and complex systems of construction for preventing the occurrence of subsidences when establishing sub-surface large openings (kesserue,zs, gresich,gy, bodonyi,j, husz,n and zoltan,t); development and application of environmentally acceptable new soft ground tunnelling method (abe,t, sugimoto,y and ishihara,k); ground subsidence during tunnelling in Mexico city subsoil (schmitter,j, farjeat,d and portillo,ml); closed-type shield tunnelling through soft silt layer and consequent ground behaviour (endo,k and miyoshi,m); tunnelling costs can be reduced (lucke,wn); reducing risk for tunnelling design and excavation (awad,hi); risks in tunnel construction (jacobs,d); contractual share of risk (some basic thoughts of Swiss standards for underground work) (pfister,re); German practice of sharing contractual risk (hochmuth,w and lessmann,h); conditions and specifications of railway tunnelling contracts in Japan (sato,y); difference in contractual practices in tunnelling among various contract awarding agencies (adachi,s and terazawa,k); the new Austrian tunnelling method (natm), contractual aspects (golser,j and mussger,k); the problems relating to contracts for tunnel works in Japan, especially about changing condition clause (yokoyama,h); British contractual practices in tunnelling (leeney, jg and bush, g).
