This book covers the fundamentals of tunneling machine technology: drilling, tunneling, waste removal and securing. It treats methods of rock classification for the machinery concerned as well as legal issues, using numerous example projects to reflect the state of technology, as well as problematic cases and solutions. The work is structured such that readers are led from the basics via the main functional elements of tunneling machinery to the different types of machine, together with their areas of application and equipment. The result is an overview of current developments. Close cooperation among the authors involved has created a book of equal interest to experienced tunnelers and newcomers.

Tunnel engineering is one of the oldest, most interesting but also challenging engineering disciplines and demands not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience in geology, geomechanics, structural design, concrete construction, machine technology, construction process technology and construction management. The two-volume "Handbuch des Tunnel- und Stollenbaus" has been the standard reference for German-speaking tunnellers in theory and practice for 30 years. The new English edition is based on a revised and adapted version of the third German edition and reflects the latest state of knowledge. The book is published in two volumes, with the first being devoted to more practical themes of construction and construction process in drill and blast and mechanised tunnelling. Microtunnelling and ventilation are also dealt with. All chapters include practical examples.

Structures and Methods

Handbook of Tunnel Engineering I

Der Tunnelbau ist eine der interessantesten, aber auch schwierigsten Ingenieurdisziplinen. Er vereinigt Theorie und Praxis zu einer eigenen interdisziplinären Ingenieurbaukunst. Das Buch zeigt die fortlaufende Entwicklung der Vortriebsmethoden und der dazu benötigten Geräte seit Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts auf und geht dabei auch auf die aus dem Bergbau übernommenen Erkenntnisse ein. Tunnelprojekte faszinieren die Menschheit seit jeher. Die gefahrvolle Arbeit der Mineure wird respektvoll anerkannt und die eingesetzte Maschinentechnik bewundert. Der Tunnelbau wird auch immer wieder in der darstellenden Kunst behandelt. Das vorliegende Buch befasst sich daher nicht nur mit der Technik, sondern bereitet auch die Themenbereiche Religion, Kunst, Film, Literatur und Kultur im und für den Tunnelbau auf. Das vorliegende Werk ist ein Sachbuch für den Tunnelbau, das sich ausdrücklich auch an den interessierten Nichtfachmann richtet.

Geschichte und Geschichten - ein Sachbuch

Faszination Tunnelbau

Gerhard Wehrmeyer

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.
