Mechanized Tunnelling in Urban Areas: Design methodology and construction control

Editat de Vittorio Guglielmetti, Piergiorgio Grasso, Ashraf Mahtab, Shulin Xu
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 noi 2007
Internationally, the mechanized excavation of tunnels has intensified in the last two decades, as the number of tunnels being constructed for subways and railway underpasses increases. The subject of mechanized tunnelling in urban areas has not previously received the attention that it deserves, despite there being specific hazards associated with the construction of tunnels in metropolitan areas, including poor ground conditions, water tables higher than the level of tunnels, and subsidence leading to damage to the existing structures on the surface. The application of technologies for achieving the stability of the tunnel and for minimizing surface settlement is described in this book. Accurate characterization of the ground; rigorous assessment and management of risk from design to maintenance; the correct choice of a tunnel boring machine and a plan for the advancement of the tunnel; specific excavation procedures and real-time monitoring of excavation parameters are all discussed in this thorough work.

Descriere

Specific hazards associated with the construction of tunnels in metropolitan areas exist, including poor ground conditions, water tables higher than the level of tunnels, and subsidence leading to damage to the existing structures on the surface. This book describes the application of technologies for achieving the stability of tunnels and for minimizing surface settlement. Important topics discussed include accurate characterization of the ground, rigorous assessment and management of risk from design to maintenance, the correct choice of a tunnel boring machine, a plan for the advancement of the tunnel, specific excavation procedures, and real-time monitoring of excavation parameters.
