Edited By R. Huang Copyright 2008

    One of the world's currently largests tunnel projects is under construction at the Yangtze River estuary: the Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel project, with its length of 8950 m and a diameter of 15.43 m. The Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel. Theory, Design and Construction, which was presented as a special issue at the occasion of the 6th International Symposium Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground (IS-Shanghai, China, 10-12 April 2008), contains a comprehensive collection of papers dedicated to one of the most complex underground works recently undertaken, and covers a variety of topics:

    – Experiment and design;

    – Construction and monitoring;

    – Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation;

    – Risk assessment, and

    – Project management.

    This book will be invaluable to scientists and engineers working in the analysis, design, construction and management of tunnels in soft ground.
