A short survey on construction problems and numerical modelling of shallow tunnels
Description
The construction of shallow tunnels has today a large development, mainly in urban and suburban areas. The great flows of traffic into and out of the large towns can be dealt with only by tunnelling. This paper presents a short survey of the construction methods and numerical modelling for shallow tunnels. Since tunnels in soft ground are those that put larger problems, they are treated with some more extension. Construction techniques and excavation methods, together with stability of the face, ground movements and monitoring are dealt with.
