It covers the following main topics: geological and geotechnical parameters affecting tunneling methods, summarizing conventional tunneling and mechanized tunneling methods, the factors affecting the choice of tunneling methods such as the cost of the initial investment, the length of the tunnel, project scheduling, time for mobilization, emerging new technologies. Some examples of changing the tunneling method from conventional to mechanized tunneling or vice versa during the same ongoing project and hybrid tunneling methods in the same project are also given. The last chapter resumes the innovations made for the tunneling industry, summarizing advancements in safety, non-circular TBMs, robotics, new instrumentation, new materials and methodologies to decrease carbon footprint. This book is aimed at graduate students, professionals and researchers in tunneling, civil and mining engineering and geology. 410 0$aSpringer Tracts in Civil Engineering,$x2366-2603 606 $aUnderground construction 606 $aGeotechnical engineering 606 $aMining engineering 606 $aUnderground Engineering and Tunnel Construction 606 $aGeotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences 606 $aMining and Exploration 615 0$aUnderground construction. 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering. 615 0$aMining engineering. 615 14$aUnderground Engineering and Tunnel Construction. 615 24$aGeotechnical Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences. 615 24$aMining and Exploration. 676 $a624.19 700 $aBilgin$b Nuh$01652179 701 $aBalci$b Cemal$01818482 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911001465303321 996 $aCritical Issues in Selecting Conventional and Mechanized Tunnelling Methods$94377666 997 $aUNINA
