Tunnelling and Tunnel Mechanics: A Rational Approach to Tunnelling


Add your own review!

Overview

This book covers not only practical aspects but also the underlying theoretical approaches. It also covers the fundamentals of rock mechanics. The book addresses not only students but also professionals who are interested to understand the underlying principles and methods and -- possibly -- to further develop them. Emphasis is given to the mechanical approach rather than to hardly tractable empirical statements. The text is concise and comprises a large list of citations.

Reviews

From the reviews: First, it provides a comprehensive coverage of the entire spectrum of tunneling in a single volume. ! Second, this new book is one of the few tunneling books in English by authors from a G-A-Ch country (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). The G-A-CH countries are known to have a rich concentration of tunnel engineers, consultants, contractors and machine manufacturers, and a long tradition in tunneling practice and research. ! This book is worth a thorough reading from cover to cover ! . (W. Wu, Acta Geotechnica, April, 2006)
