Résumé

Based on their extensive experience of tunnelling through poor, jointed, sheared and faulted rock masses, as are found in the Himalayas, Alps and many other locations, in 29 chapters the authors cover the whole subject area - from site investigation, through rock mass classification, different tunnelling methods, hazards, swelling and squeezing ground, to contractual aspects. The book has over 180 figures and 90 tables and is recommended as a valuable reference source for clients, consulting engineers, contractors, geologists, researchers and students.

This title forms part of the developing Elsevier Geo-Engineering series and has a Preface by the Series Editor, Professor John A Hudson.
