Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel. Theory Design and Construction

<p>One of the world's currently largests tunnel projects is under construction at the Yangtze River estuary: the Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel project with its length of 8950 m and a diameter of 15.43 m. <strong>The Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel. Theory Design and Construction</strong> which was presented as a special issue at the occasion of the 6th International Symposium Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground (IS-Shanghai China 10-12 April 2008) contains a comprehensive collection of papers dedicated to one of the most complex underground works recently undertaken and covers a variety of topics:</p><p>– Experiment and design;</p><p>– Construction and monitoring;</p><p>– Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation;</p><p>– Risk assessment and</p><p>– Project management.</p><p>This book will be invaluable to scientists and engineers working in the analysis design construction and management of tunnels in soft ground.</p>
