Transportation Tunnels

Providing a comprehensive text on tunneling and tunnel engineering applicable in general to all types of tunnels, the book has been revised to also provide coverage of water conveyance, navigation and material conveyance tunnels and deals with these subjects in detail. It covers all aspects of investigation, design, construction, monitoring and maintenance of tunnels. Special emphasis has been laid on the geotechnical investigations, interpretation and construction of tunnels. The book reflects the advancements in the knowledge of ground behaviour and rock mechanics and also in construction technology, including use of TBM in the last two decades.
