Tunnels and deep excavations for transport infrastructure. Advances in research and practice.

Document type: Recorded lecture | Last updated: 11 JULY 2011

Professor Robert Mair
ICE/TRF Fellows Lecture 2009 

Ground movements caused by tunnels and deep excavations are potentially damaging to buildings.  In this lecture, Professor Robert Mair presents recent research linking field measurements, centrifuge modelling and numerical analysis to show how different types of building foundations respond to ground movements associated with construction of tunnels and deep excavations.  Using case histories, he illustrates advances in ground movement control for earth pressure balance tunnelling machines and for deep excavations.
