Innovation in TBM Traffic Tunnels presents three innovative concepts to face these challenges: the TISB concept, the TMG and TMF concepts, and other innovations in TBM tunnelling. The book is aimed at professionals involved in the planning, design, and construction of tunnels for transport infrastructure. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 09 March 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTunnel Boring Machine (TBM) constructed tunnels are a common and efficient means of delivering significant environmental and cost benefits. However, as highlighted in the remarkable examples of TBM traffic tunnels presented in this book, there are still significant challenges associated with them, particularly in terms of structural safety in the event of earthquakes and cost and safety issues during operation. To address these challenges, Innovation in TBM Traffic Tunnels presents three innovative concepts in the field of tunnel construction for rail and road tunnels: the TISB concept, which enhances the structural safety of tunnels built on soft soil in seismic areas; the TMG and TMF concepts, which allow for significant cost reduction and improved safety during tunnel operation for rail and road tunnels, respectively; and the conceptual design of specific tunnel cases, which compare and demonstrate the additional benefits of these concepts. Furthermore, the book highlights other innovations in TBM tunneling that may contribute to improving tunnel construction in the future, particularly when utilizing the concepts discussed above. Innovation in TBM Traffic Tunnels is intended for professionals involved in the planning, design, and construction of tunnels for transport infrastructure, including authorities, consultants, and construction companies, across the globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTunnel Boring Machine (TBM) constructed tunnels are a common and efficient means of delivering significant environmental and cost benefits.
