Based on Chengdu Subway Tunnel Project,ShieldConstruction Technology for Water-rich Sand & Gravel Stratum compiled byYang Shujiang, Sun Mou and Hong Kairongsystematically introduces about thecomplete shield construction technology for water-rich sand & gravel stratum.The book of 12 chapters mainly covers geological features of water-rich sand and gravel stratum, applicationof two different types of shield machines, shield well end stratumreinforcement, shield construction control, shield synchronic grouting slurrypreparation and construction technology, research and application of dregimprovement technology, stabilizing technology for excavation face of cementbalance shield, cement system application and improvement,entering technology, constructiontechnology for shield running through important buildings (structures), treatmentof boulder, monitoring and measurement and IT construction technology.

Shield Construction Technology for Water-richSand & Gravel Stratum presents examples all summarized from engineeringpractice, with complete data, detailed information and clear presentation,showing relatively high referential value for design, construction andmanagement of shield tunneling works.

Shield Construction Technologyfor Water-rich Sand & Gravel Stratum can be used as reference book fortechnical personnel and research workers of shield construction of urban subwaytunnel, river-cross and sea-cross tunnel and intake and drainage tunnelprojects as well as technical reference book for college teachers and studentsof relevant majors.
