Summary

Tunnel Engineering Handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the state of the art in the design, construction and rehabilitation of tunnels in a single, convenient volume. 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 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, which types of tunnels and construction methods are best suited to different conditions.
The practical material in 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.
