Description
CRC Press Soft Ground Tunnel Design 1st Edition 2021 Softbound by JONES
Soft Ground Tunnel Design is a textbook that teaches the principles of tunnel and underground space design in soft ground. 'Soft ground' refers to soil, in contrast to rock. The book focuses on stability, prediction of ground movements, and structural design of the lining. It shows that the choice of excavation and support methods depends on ground stability, limitation of damage to the existing built environment, and health, safety and environmental considerations. _x000D__x000D_Benoit Jones builds on the basic principles of soil-structure interaction, the three-dimensional effects of construction sequence, and the effects of construction on other surface or subsurface structures in steps of gradually increasing complexity. The use of worked examples throughout, and example problems at the end of each chapter, give the reader confidence to apply their knowledge. _x000D__x000D_Engineers and graduate students will be able to: _x000D__x000D_* understand the basis for choosing an underground construction method and/or ground improvement method_x000D__x000D_* calculate heading stability_x000D__x000D_* predict ground movements_x000D__x000D_* understand the complex soil-structure interaction around an advancing tunnel_x000D__x000D_* design tunnel linings in soft ground using a variety of methods_x000D__x000D_* predict the effects of construction on the built environment and assess potential damage_x000D__x000D_Benoit Jones has worked in tunnelling as a designer, contractor and academic for more than 20 years. He set up and ran the MSc Tunnelling and Underground Space course at the University of Warwick. He is now managing director of his own company, Inbye Engineering._x000D_
