Tunnel Project: From Digging to Maintenance: Course and Exercises

Underground structures, especially tunnels, are essential elements of civil engineering, particularly within the public works sector, which has been expanding consistently over the last few decades and continues to grow worldwide. As a result, students in this field must master this subject and understand the techniques involved in excavation, construction, and maintenance. In this context, this book deals with underground structures, initially intended for students specializing in civil engineering. Still, it is also relevant for professionals in the same field, such as engineers. The included chapters provide readers with the necessary knowledge for conducting a dimensioning study of tunnel linings. The book outlines the progressive phases of tunnel dimensioning and realization.
