Book Description
Designed as a fundamental source of information on the installation and renewal of non-man-size supply and sewage lines by the trenchless construction method, this book describes non-steerable and steerable microtunnelling systems, their ranges of application and relevant operational experience. The text is supplemented by numerous photographs, outline drawings, tables and charts. In-depth knowledge is given on the subjects of design and operation of different types of soil removal systems, measuring and steering techniques, construction of starting and target pits, as well as obstruction removal. Moreover, the presentations cover the special jacking pipes required for microtunnelling, and provide detailed information regarding the relevant stress and strain analyses. It is shown how the trenchless construction method can be used for marking service house connections, and that there are new ways to link up house service lines with shafts or sewers. A comprehensive bibliography rounds off the text

Book Description
In the past decade, the field of trenchless technology has expanded rapidly in products, equipment, and utilization. This expansion would not have occurred without a strong increase in economic incentives to the user. Because the operating environment has changed, trenchless technology is often the preferred alternative to traditional methods of digging holes and installing conduits. The infrastructure in which we live has become more congested and has to be shared by several users. In addition, the cost of restoring a road or landscaped area after construction may be higher than the cost of installing the conduit. These factors add to the need for trenchless technology-the ability to dig holes without disturbing the surface. In some ways, trenchless technology is a futuristic concept. Ruth Krauss in a children's book of definitions wrote, "A Hole .. .Is to Dig." But this statement is not necessarily true. Today, a hole could be to bore.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Der Ingenieurtunnelbau ist einer der ältesten, interessantesten, aber auch schwierigsten Ingenieurdisziplinen und erfordert theoretische Kenntnisse und praktische Erfahrung in Geologie, Geomechanik, Statik, Massivbau, Maschinentechnik, Bauverfahrenstechnik und Baumanagement. Das zweibändige "Handbuch des Tunnel- und Stollenbaus" gilt seit 30 Jahren in der deutschsprachigen Fachwelt als Standardwerk für Lehre und Praxis. Die vorliegende englische Ausgabe basiert auf einer überarbeiteten und angepassten Fassung der dritten deutschen Auflage und ist auf dem heutigen Stand der Kenntnisse. Das Buch erscheint in zwei Bänden, wobei sich der erste Band den mehr praktischen Themen von Konstruktion und Bauverfahren im Sprengvortrieb und maschinellen Vortrieb widmet. Der zweite Band widmet sich sowohl theoretischen Themen wie Planungsgrundsätze als auch praktischen Belangen der Baustellenabwicklung sowie Fragen der Ausschreibung, Vergabe und Vertrag.

Book Description
A wide ranging and up-to-date review of experience of tunnelling contracts, particularly those for sewerage and drainage tunnels. The review is based on the 6th edition of the ICE Conditions of Contract, but it takes note of new forms of contract which are leading towards less adversarial contractual relations.^

Book Description
The 16th ICSMGE responds to the needs of the engineering and construction community, promoting dialog and exchange between academia and practice in various aspects of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. This is reflected in the central theme of the conference 'Geotechnology in Harmony with the Global Environment'. The proceedings of the conference are of great interest for geo-engineers and researchers in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Volume 1 contains 5 plenary session lectures, the Terzaghi Oration, Heritage Lecture, and 3 papers presented in the major project session. Volumes 2, 3, and 4 contain papers with the following topics: Soil mechanics in general; Infrastructure and mobility; Environmental issues of geotechnical engineering; Enhancing natural disaster reduction systems; Professional practice and education. Volume 5 contains the report of practitioner/academic forum, 20 general reports, a summary of the sessions and workshops held during the conference.
Specification for Tunnelling

Book Description
This Specification for Tunnelling has been completely updated to refelct the many significant changes in tunnelling techniques. It is written to be used as a contract specification on its own, or in conjunction with other standard specifications on multi-disciplinary projects. The original Model Specification for Tunnelling was the first document produced for the industry with the specific aim of establishing a common standard for the design and construction of tunnelling in the UK. This new edition continues to draw heavily on the practical experience of both corporate and individual members of the British Tunnelling Society, and provides a sound basis for specifying tunnelling design and construction. This updated specification is a considerable advance on the original, and should continue to be the de facto standard for tunnelling in the UK.

Book Description
In The Guilty Plea and Old City Hall, critically acclaimed author Robert Rotenberg created gripping page-turners that captured audiences in Canada and around the world. Rotenberg's bestsellers do for Toronto what Ian Rankin has done for Edinburgh and Michael Connelly for Los Angeles. In Stray Bullets, Rotenberg takes the reader to a snowy November evening. Outside a busy downtown doughnut shop, gunshots ring out and a young boy is critically hurt. Soon Detective Ari Greene is on scene. How many shots were fired? How many guns? How many witnesses? With grieving parents and a city hungry for justice, the pressure is on to convict the man accused of this horrible crime. Against this tidal wave of indignation, defence counsel Nancy Parish finds herself defending her oldest and most difficult client. But does anyone know the whole story? Stray Bullets is Robert Rotenberg's third intricate mystery set on the streets and in the courtrooms of Toronto.
