Description

Shield Construction Techniques in Tunnelling presents the latest on this fast, environmentally-friendly and relatively safe construction technique, reflecting on its technical risks and challenges as seen in China. Sections introduce the type of shields, the history of the technique, shielding principles, selection, management, the latest techniques in operation, consider engineering cases, discuss construction in gravel, soft-soil, composite, and rock strata, and present video clips of construction that are accessible through QR codes embedded in the text. The book combines theory and practical experience, giving the reader unique insights into shield equipment and construction techniques. The shield tunneling technique is being used very widely, particularly in China, which is building urban-rail transit systems at an unparalleled scale and speed. The use of tunneling-shields provides a fast, relatively-safe, and ecologically-friendly method for the construction of tunnels. However, a number of incidents have shown the risks involved in tunnelling through geologically complex areas. Review Gives practical experience and theoretical know-how on shield construction techniques for tunneling From the Back Cover The shield tunnelling technique is being used very widely, particularly in China, which is building urban-rail transit systems at an unparalleled scale and speed. The use of tunnelling-shields provides a fast, relatively-safe, and ecologically-friendly method for the construction of tunnels. However, a number of incidents have shown the risks involved in tunnelling through geologically complex areas, and the dangers involved in the incorrect use or adoption of equipment, and poor decision making processes during construction. Shield Construction Techniques in Tunnelling presents this fast, environmentally-friendly and relatively safe construction technique, and reflects on the technical risks and challenges, based on extensive use of the technique for tunnel construction in China. The book consists of three parts. The first part introduces the types of shield, and the development history of the technique, shielding principles, selection, management and the latest techniques in operation. The second part considers engineering cases, discussing construction in gravel, soft-soil, composite, and rock strata. This book combines theory and practical experience, giving the reader unique insight into shield equipment and construction techniques that can be put immediately to use. About the Author Professor-level, Senior Engineer, National Constructor, and Executive Deputy Director of the National Key Laboratory of Shield and Tunnelling Techniques. He is Adjunct Professor of Shijiazhuang Railway University, North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, and Henan University of Science and Technology. He has run numerous national projects in China, and collaborated internationally. He is one of the founders of the shield industry in the country. He was awarded first prize from the National Science and Technology Progress Awards for his work in the area, and is a leader in the field. Born in 1975, Jiangka Wang, male, is master of architecture and civil engineering from Lanzhou Jiaotong University, professor-level senior engineer, national-level registered construction engineer, China Railway expert, who enjoys the special allowance of the State Council government and is Wuxi city model worker. He is now the deputy commander of the Guangzhou Rail Transit Project Command of China Railway and the project manager of Line 13 of the Guangzhou Rail Transit Project of China Railway. He is mainly engaged in shield construction and management of urban rail transit projects, and has won 5 national science and technology innovation awards, 2 provincial and ministerial science and technology innovation awards, 5 China Railway Science and Technology Innovation Awards, 1
