The Institution of Civil Engineers presents the Handbook of Tunnel Fire Safety. This guideis the first book to span the spectrum of state-of-the-art knowledge in tunnel fire safety science and engineering.

This guide provides infrastructure owners, consulting engineers, contractors and maintenance managers with guidance on the management, condition appraisal, maintenance and repair of the structural elements of existing infrastructure tunnels, focusing primarily on older infrastructure and certain....

This report investigates the factors affecting the hydraulic performance of segmentally linked tunnels and gives design for best practicerecommendations based on the results.

This step-by-step design guide shows how thrust blocks up to 1000 kN are used to restrain the forces generated by changes in direction of fluid flow in jointed buried pressure pipeline networks.

Demand is rising for buildings with more basement space, highway underpasses and rapid transit lines, all of which require excavation propping systems. Different methods for calculating prop loads have led to significant variation in these temporary works. There is a need, therefore, for a clear....

It is based on a detailed review of published literature and inf....

Following the high profile gas explosions at Loscoe and Abbeystead during the 1980s, a number of reports were published in the 1990s on the measurement of ground gases, the assessment of risk such gases may present along with the measures that can be employed to mitigate these risks. More recent....
