Etonnant ouvrage sur les travaux de percement de tunnels Importante iconographie.
As indicated by the title, the authors have confined this work principally to the practical side of tunnel driving. They have endeavored to explain in detail the fundamental operations that form the basis of each and every tunnel job, large or small, in soft ground or hard. No two tunnels are alike as to driving conditions; therefore the details of procedure will vary to meet each different situation. In recognition of these varying conditions, this book gives several variations of fundamental procedures, such as ground support, drilling, shooting, mucking, track installation and haulage, shaft operations, pumping and con crete lining, to mention only a few. Preliminary ground investigations, elements of design and engineering, and surveying are given proper attention.
In presenting this practical work, the authors hope they have filled in a gap in the list of books on tunneling. Most other works have been devoted to specifie classes of tunnels or to reviews of the larger, more spectacular projects. This book is intended as an aid to the engineer or contractor who has a tunnel problem at hand, not as a history of what has been accomplished elsewhere. l t is hoped the experienced tunnel man will find much to refresh his memory, to recall details of operations perhaps forgotten, and perhaps a new ide a or a new adaptation of an old idea that might be of aid. To the less experienced and to those who drive tunnels only occasionally, it is hoped this book will be of even greater assistance.
