Handbook of Precast Segmental Tunnel Lining Systems

This definitive international technical and practical manual from world-leading practitioners details design and quantitative analysis, manufacturing and construction to ACI and ASTM codes and the main global standards; and with new admixtures and manufacturing processes, such as tight dimensional controls and high repeatability cycles. This comprehensive handbook covers all aspects of design, production, and construction of precast concrete tunnel segmental lining, with the best practices in the field included in one book for the first time. New and current design methods and quantitative analyses are considered in line with ACI and ASTM codes, as well as a full selection of global standards for the reliable design of the product and all components. Also incorporated are new applications of science and technology, such as new admixtures, and the latest manufacturing processes and precisions, such as tight dimensional controls and high repeatability cycles. With detailed guidance from world-leading practitioners, this is the definitive international technical and practical manual on these linings, forming a one-stop reference for tunnel engineers and an invaluable resource for advanced students in civil, mechanical, and mining engineering.
