Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground Proceedings of the 5th International Symposium TC28. Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 15-17 June 2005

    A valuable source of reference on the current practices of analysis, design and construction of tunnels and underground structures in soft ground. This collection of reviewed papers covers a wide range of tunnelling practice, from deep excavations in Singapore to the construction of a new metro line in Barcelona. The international scope of the contributors makes this a truly comprehensive collection of work on the geotechnical aspects of soft ground excavation.
