Tunnel Engineering Handbook

Presents the state of the art in the design, construction, and rehabilitation of tunnels. The text brings together 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. It should enable 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.
