Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels

Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels, 2nd Edition, introduces the fundamentals and practical applications of sprayed concrete lined (SCL) tunnelling. The text explores how the SCL method is applied to both soft ground and hard rock environments.

Coverage outlines concrete constituents, design approaches, and construction methods. The book explains how permanent linings help reduce construction costs and schedules, while discussing how the complex early-age behaviour of sprayed concrete creates design challenges that demand careful management during construction.

Designed for practising engineers working on site, in design offices, or within client organizations, the volume connects structural concepts with the operational demands of tunnel delivery.
