Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shield and Compressed Air Tunneling Tunneling is a branch of Engineering, therefore, which the student, whether still in college or grown gray in bending the forces of nature to the use and benefit of mankind, cannot and must not neglect. N o matter what his special branch may be, the engineer may be called upon to take his part in the construe tion of a tunnel or in deciding whether he shall or shall not build a tunnel, and if so, by what method he shall build it. He may be the chief on whose shoulders rest the responsibilities of making the final decision and of directing the efforts of a staff of experts, or he may be a youngster fresh from college, serving his first term as a draftsman, inspector or rodman on the design or construction of such a tunnel.

This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tunnel Shields and the Use of Compressed Air in Subaqueous Works Although the employment of a shield, with or without the aid of compressed air, in tunnelling operations is of English origin, and the length of tunnels so constructed in this country is many times greater than the total amount of similar work elsewhere, the subject is nowhere dealt with in Engineering text books written in English, except in Simms' Practical Tunnelling and Prelini and Hills' Tunnelling, which, however, touch only slightly on it as a part of the general history of tunnelling. Except for a few pages in these works, no account in English of shield-work exists save in the form of papers printed in the Proceeding of the Institution of Civil Engineers and some description of current works which have from time to time appeared in the technical journals. In French two books only on the subject have appeared: the very complete work by M. Legouez, L' Kmploi du Boueiier dans la Construction des Souterrains, and M. Philippe's Le Boudier, which gives some interesting information on recent French tunnel works. The Author hopes, therefore, that a history of recent developments in shield-work may be found of some use to his profenuona) brethren, if only by collecting in one volume a mass of information hitherto scattered through many publications, and consequently difficult and troublesome of access. He has treated as briefly as possible the early records of the shields, and of compressed air working, holding, indeed, that only with Mr. Greathead and his Tower subway shield the history of practical tunnelling by shield really commences, but of the developments witnessed since he has endeavoured to present as clear a record as the limit* of one volume will permit. Of the Great head shield work, the "assisted shield" method of tunnelling, and the various subaqueous tunnels recently built in and around London, he may claim to write from personal knowledge, supplemented by information generously placed at his disposal by the Engineers engaged in the various undertakings described.

Download or read book Mechanised Shield Tunnelling written by Bernhard Maidl and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1996-12-16 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its early beginnings in 1806, this type of tunnelling has become one of the most important techniques. While Japan's current pioneering role cannot be denied, the state of development in Europe has reached a high level of international recognition. This book explains the history of this construction method, outlining basic information and presenting the various types of shields and linings with the corresponding equipment and range of applications. It examines various projects, including not only such large ones as the Channel or the Belt tunnel, but also small, equally interesting projects such as underground railways. The problems involved as well the technology used to confront them are fully described, and the text is structured in such a way that readers are led from the basics of this construction method, via the essential functional elements of the shield machines and on to the different types of shields. The universality of the book is guaranteed by the three expert authors, a researcher, machine manufacturer and contractor respectively. Invaluable for current and future tunnelling projects and a must for all those working in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text presents the results of the joint research initiative "Numercial Simulation in Tunneling". In doing so it provides a thorough guide to improving the safety and economy of tunnels by discussing the application of numerical simulation methods to assist tunnel engineers. Numerical simulation tools for the estimation of the required tunnel support and the required construction measures are described in this book. By using them, it is possible to study the impact on the construction and on the environment at the planning stadium and during construction. This will result in an improvement of the safety and economy of tunnels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shield Construction Techniques in Tunnelling presents the latest on this fast, environmentally-friendly and relatively safe construction technique, reflecting on its technical risks and challenges as seen in China. Sections introduce the type of shields, the history of the technique, shielding principles, selection, management, the latest techniques in operation, consider engineering cases, discuss construction in gravel, soft-soil, composite, and rock strata, and present video clips of construction that are accessible through QR codes embedded in the text. The book combines theory and practical experience, giving the reader unique insights into shield equipment and construction techniques. The shield tunneling technique is being used very widely, particularly in China, which is building urban-rail transit systems at an unparalleled scale and speed. The use of tunneling-shields provides a fast, relatively-safe, and ecologically-friendly method for the construction of tunnels. However, a number of incidents have shown the risks involved in tunnelling through geologically complex areas. Gives the principles and practice of shield construction techniques, including shield selection and operation Demonstrates the latest technologies in shield construction that can be applied in practice Reflects on the technical risks and challenges of shield construction, based on extensive use of the technique for tunnel construction in China Discusses challenges in construction in gravel, soft-soil, composite and rock strata Provides engineers with applicable insights into shield equipment and construction techniques

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanised shield tunnelling has developed considerably since the publication of the first edition of this book. Challenging tunnel projects under difficult conditions demand innovative solutions, which has led to constant further development and innovation in process technology, constructions operations and the machines and materials used. The book collects the latest state of technology in mechanised shield tunnelling. It describes the basics of mechanised tunnelling technology and the various types of machines and gives calculation methods and constructural advice. Further chapters cover excavation tools, muck handling, tunnel support, surveying and steering as well as workplace safety. There is also detailled information about contractual aspects and process controlling.
