North American tunneling : 2014 proceedings

North American Tunneling Conference / Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration

"This book reflects the theme for the 2014 conference, "Mission Possible." The authors share new theories, novel innovations, and the latest tools that make what once may have been perceived as impossible, now possible. The authors share the latest case histories, expertise, lessons learned, and real-world applications from around the globe on a wide range of topics. The cover the successes and failures of challenging construction projects. Read about challenging design issues, fresh approaches on performance, future projexts, and industry trends as well as ground movement and support, structure analysis, risk and cost management, rock tunnels, caverns and shafts, TBM technology and selection, and water and wastewater conveyance"--Back Cover
