BORED TUNNELS (2006)
This General Report reviews a total of twenty five papers relating to bored tunnel construction, its influence on ground deformations and tunnel interaction with other geo-structures in the 5th International Symposium on GeotechnicalAspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground.These papers may be broadly grouped under five sub-themes or headings: (a) case history and back-analysis, (b) study of interaction effects, (c) investigation of face stability, (d) assessment, measurement and analysis of ground deformations and, (e) influence of grout and muck properties on the construction of bored tunnels. This report is intended to highlight main features, key findings, and perhaps to raise queries and concerns of reviewed papers as appropriate. For details, readers are strongly encouraged to refer to the original papers.
