Download or read book Construction Methods and Planning written by J.R. Illingworth and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of John Illingworth's popular book provides a thorough introduction to the selection of construction methods, their planning and organization on site. Thoroughly revised and updated, Construction Methods and Planning takes a practical, down-to-earth approach and features numerous examples and illustrations taken from real situations and sites. In Part One, the main factors which determine the planning of construction methods - site inspections, the site itself, temporary works, design, cost concepts and selection of plant and methods - are discussed. In Part Two, the application of these tools is presented, covering foundations and basements, in situ and precast concrete structures, steel frames, cladding, internal and external works, waste, methods statements, contract planning control and claims. The author provides an extension of the concept of 'buildability' and new chapters on facade retention and the refurbishment of domestic accommodation.
Download or read book Specification for Tunnelling written by British Tunnelling Society and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 2000 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Handbook of Tunnel Engineering II written by Bernhard Maidl and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-01-22 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tunnel engineering is one of the oldest, most interesting but also challenging engineering disciplines and demands not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience in geology, geomechanics, structural design, concrete construction, machine technology, construction process technology and construction management. The two-volume "Handbuch des Tunnel- und Stollenbaus" has been the standard reference work for German-speaking tunnellers in theory and practice for 30 years. The new English edition is based on a revised and adapted version of the third German edition and reflects the latest state of knowledge. The book is published in two volumes, with the second volume covering both theoretical themes like design basics, geological engineering, structural design of tunnels and monitoring instrumentation, and also the practical side of work on the construction site such as dewatering, waterproofing and scheduling as well as questions of tendering, award and contracts, data management and process controlling. As with volume I, all chapters include practical examples.
Download or read book Mechanised Shield Tunnelling written by Bernhard Maidl and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Mechanized Tunnelling in Urban Areas written by Vittorio Guglielmetti and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-01-07 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationally, the mechanized excavation of tunnels has intensified in the last two decades, as the number of tunnels being constructed for subways and railway underpasses increases. The subject of mechanized tunnelling in urban areas has not previously received the attention that it deserves, despite there being specific hazards associated with the construction of tunnels in metropolitan areas, including poor ground conditions, water tables higher than the level of tunnels, and subsidence leading to damage to the existing structures on the surface. The application of technologies for achieving the stability of the tunnel and for minimizing surface settlement is described in this book. Accurate characterization of the ground; rigorous assessment and management of risk from design to maintenance; the correct choice of a tunnel boring machine and a plan for the advancement of the tunnel; specific excavation procedures and real-time monitoring of excavation parameters are all discussed in this thorough work.
