It  brings together essential information on all the principal  classifications of tunnels, including soft ground, hard rock,  immersed tube and cut-and-cover, with comparisons of their relative  advantages and suitability. The broad coverage found in the   Tunnel  Engineering Handbook enables engineers to address such critical  questions as how tunnels are planned and laid out, how the design of  tunnels depends on site and ground conditions, and which types of  tunnels and construction methods are best suited to different  conditions. Written by the leading engineers in the fields, this  second edition features major revisions from the first, including: *  Complete updating of all chapters from the first edition * Seven  completely new chapters covering tunnel stabilization and lining,  difficult ground, deep shafts, water conveyance tunnels, small  diameter tunnels, fire life safety, tunnel rehabilitation and tunnel  construction contracting *New coverage of the modern philosophy and  techniques of tunnel design and tunnel construction contracting The  comprehensive coverage of the Tunnel Engineering Handbook makes it an  essential resource for all practicing engineers engaged in the design  of tunnels and underground construction. In addition, the book  contains a wealth of information that government administrators and  planners and transportation officials will use in the planning and  management of tunnels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-10-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461380535\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461380535\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-0449-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 528\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340581138572,"sku":"9781461380535","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461380535_046d9860-39be-4baf-a3e6-a0c590f9025d.jpg?v=1755045142","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461380535","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
