Gives detailed guidance on a subject about which relatively little has been published in UK. Presents current practice in a field that has developed rapidly. Focuses a new application of sprayed concrete – permanent tunnel linings. Covers a niche subject that is not taught in universities. Practising engineerson site, in the design office or in client organizations will find this book an excellent introduction to the design and construction of sprayed concrete lined (SCL) tunnels. The complex behaviour of the early age behaviour of the sprayed concrete requires careful management. This book covers all aspects of SCL tunnelling – from the constituents of sprayed concrete to detailed design and management during construction. Although there is a close interdependence between all the facets of sprayed concrete, few engineers have the right breadthof experience and expertise, and this urgently needs to be transferred to thewider engineering community. Disseminating essential information for tunnelling engineers, Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels is key reading for all involved in or studying the process. INDICE: 1. What is an SCL Tunnel?á 2.
