the book is a “12th Five-year”National Key Book Publication Planning Project and the first systematic andcomprehensive reference book in the field of highway tunnel design. Its maincontents include: overall design of tunnel, tunneling boundary and net section,tunnel survey, tunnel geological survey, tunnel surrounding rock classificationand physical mechanic parameters, calculation of tunnel surrounding rockpressure, analytical method for tunnel support stratum--structure, load-structurecalculation method for tunnel support structure, portal and portal structuredesign, open portal and shelter portaldesign, lining design, special geologicaltunnel design, tunnel seismic resistance design, auxiliary construction design,tunnelmonitoring and measurement, tunnel geological forecasting, tunnelwaterproof and drainage system design, subgrade and pavement in tunnel, designof auxiliary structures in tunnel, drilling and blasting underwater tunneling design,shield tunnel design, immersed tunnel design, tunnel ventilation structure andauxiliary passageway design, tunnel ventilation system design, tunnel lightingsystem design, tunnel fire-control and water supply system design, tunnelmonitoring system design, tunnel power distribution system design, tunneltraffic safety facilities design, tunnel safety risk appraisal and management,tunnelrehabilitation and expansion, tunnel disease renovation, tunnelingmaterials, and addendums.
The book is mainlymeant for personnel of highway tunnel design, construction and research, butalso can be used as reference for college teachers and students of tunnelengineering.Liao Chaohua: Ph.D.; now as Deputy GeneralManager and Chief Engineer of CCCC Second Highway Survey & Design InstituteCo., Ltd., Professorate Senior Engineer, Expert with Governmental Allowance ofthe State Council and elected as National Engineering Design Master in 2004.
