Field test sections save cost in tunnel support : Lane, K S Underground Construction Research Council report, 1975, 59P

Abstract

This report is intended to stimulate improvements in underground works and their adoption by industry. It covers a broad range of topics, including promising concepts for tunnel support, role of field measurements, case histories and examples of benefits, when to adopt a test program, and good practices for effective test sections. It will be useful to engineers and managements interested in opportunities for improving the design and cost of tunnel support.
