Excellent- More about Convergence-Confinement Method for Tunnel Design
This book provides a comprehensive guide to the convergence-confinement method, a rational method widely used in design engineering for tunneling. It offers theoretical foundations and practical tools for simulating tunnel excavation and support installation using a simple plane strain model. The method considers elastic, viscoelastic, and elasto-plastic behavior of the ground and provides closed-form solutions for stress and displacement fields.

This comprehensive book offers a thorough exploration of the convergence-confinement method, a widely employed rational approach in design engineering for tunneling. Until recently, the stability conditions of underground works and the selection of support methods relied primarily on good practice or empirical approaches. However, significant advancements in our understanding of the constitutive laws of soils and rocks, coupled with the development of advanced numerical modeling techniques, have paved the way for the creation of robust design tools for tunnel supports.
The convergence-confinement method enables the simulation of tunnel excavation and support installation using a straightforward plane strain model. It provides detailed theoretical foundations and discusses the most recent developments in this field. The book offers closed-form solutions for stress and displacement fields surrounding tunnels, accounting for elastic, viscoelastic, and elasto-plastic behavior of the ground. Furthermore, it presents the principles for applying the method in numerical models, making it a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers alike.
By presenting a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the convergence-confinement method, this book serves as a valuable tool for engineers, scientists, and students involved in tunneling and underground construction. It empowers them with the knowledge and skills necessary to optimize support designs, enhance stability, and ensure the safety and longevity of underground structures.
