(Ebook) Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground by Mohammed Elshafie, Giulia Viggiani, Robert Mair ISBN 9781032409474, 1032409479

GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS OF UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION IN SOFT GROUND comprises a collection of 112 contributions presented at the Tenth International Symposium on Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground, held in Cambridge, United Kingdom, 27-29th June 2022. This 2nd edition also includes four general reports on the symposium themes which give an overview of the papers submitted to the symposium, covered in four technical sessions.The symposium is the latest in a series which began in New Delhi in 1994, and was followed by symposia in London (1996), Tokyo (1999), Toulouse (2002), Amsterdam (2005), Shanghai (2008), Rome (2011), Seoul (2014) and Sao Paulo (2017). This symposium was organised by the Geotechnical Research Group at the University of Cambridge, under the auspices of the Technical Committee TC204 of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE).Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground includes contributions from more than 25 countries on the research, design and construction of underground works in soft ground. The contributions cover the following themes:Field case studiesSensing technologies and monitoring for underground construction in soft groundPhysical and numerical modelling of tunnels and deep excavations in soft groundSeismic response of underground infrastructure in soft groundDesign and application of ground improvement for underground constructionGround movements, interaction with existing structures and mitigation measuresSimilar to previous editions, GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS OF UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION IN SOFT GROUND represents a valuable source of reference on the current practice of analysis, design, and construction of tunnels and deep excavations in soft ground. The book is particularly aimed at academics and professionals interested in geotechnical and underground engineering.
