Civil Engineering for Underground Rail Transport - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

A guide to the engineering work involved in the increasingly important field of underground railway construction (environmental concerns and population pressures make this option more and more attractive). Covers route and station planning, ground treatment and track design, tunnel drilling and construction, and station facilities. Relevant mechanical and electrical engineering aspects are included. Each chapter has been prepared by an expert in the particular subject area to give the engineer guidance on what needs to be done, how it can be achieved and what to look out for, along with an idea of costs. No experience in underground works is assumed on the part of the reader and a glossary is provided to explain terms which may be unfamiliar. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
