Tunnel Engineering
The design and construction of tunnels i.e. tunnel engineering is among the most specialized fields in geotechnical engineering and myriad issues must be addressed before a tunnel can become operational.Tunnels are important underground structures that accommodate movement of people, vehicles, water, materials etc.  In this section tunnel engineering aspects such as: tunnel design, tunnel construction, microtunneling, tunnel monitoring, tunnel rehabilitation and risk assessment are included together with other important publications related to tunnel engineering.

DOUBLE-O-TUBE SHIELD TUNNELING FOR TAOYUAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ACCESS MRT (2012)
<p>From 1989 to 2010, 20 tunneling projects have been carried out with the Double-O-Tube (DOT) shield tunneling method in the world. In this paper, the DOT shield tunneling for the construction of Taoyuan International Airport Access (TIAA) Mass Rapid Transit ...

DYNAMIC BAYESIAN NETWORK FOR PROBABILISTIC MODELING OF TUNNEL EXCAVATION PROCESSES (2012)
<p>A Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) model for probabilistic assessment of tunnel construction performance is introduced. It facilitates the quantification of uncertainties in the construction process and of the risk from extraordinary events that cause severe ...

FLOW AROUND A TBM: A COMPARISON OF ANALYTICAL AND NUMERICAL MODELS (2012)
<p>The flow of bentonite and grout around a TBM influences the settlement trough that is created during TBM tunneling. Not taking into account this flow, leads to a calculated settlement trough that is too deep. Two calculation methods have been developed: ...

GROUND MOVEMENTS GENERATED BY SEQUENTIAL TWIN-TUNNELLING IN OVER-CONSOLIDATED CLAY (2012)
<p>The expansion of urban populations comes with an associated demand for increased public transport. An often utilised solution is to construct a rapid transit system within tunnels. Generally, a pair of tunnels are constructed within relative close proximity. ...

IMPROVING THE SEISMIC RESILIENCE OF LIFELINE TUNNELS (2012)
Earthquakes subject tunnel linings to transient strains due to ground shaking, and can cause localized permanent strains in zones of fault rupture. These issues are discussed with respect to seismic analyses and design strategies. Most underground structures ...

NUMERICAL AND ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION OF GROUND SURFACE SETTLEMENT DUE TO SUBWAY EXCAVATION (2012)
<p>In this paper, ground movement in a highly populated region of Iran&rsquo;s capital city, Tehran, induced by excavation and construction of 7 the line of Tehran subway has been investigated. It was aimed to analyse the ground displacements and surface settlement ...

PARAMETRIC MODELLING BASED APPROACH FOR EFFICIENT QUANTITY TAKEOFF OF NATM-TUNNELS (2012)
As every construction project is quite different according to the type of construction, 3D-representations on design, estimation, construction, and management also need to be different. While the 3D-approach has been widely applied to building projects, it ...

REACTION CURVE OF SHOTCRETE LINING IN A CIRCULAR TUNNEL CONSIDERING EXCAVATION PROCESS (2012)
The mechanical behavior of a shotcrete lining is analyzed in this paper using the convergenceconfinement approach. A calculation procedure is presented which is able to provide the reaction curve of a lining with increasing stiffness, by taking into account ...

RISK MANAGEMENT OF TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS (2012)
<p>Estimates of uncertainties and risks of the construction process are<br />essential information for decision-making in infrastructure projects. The construction process is affected by different types of uncertainties. We can distinguish between the common ...
