<P>Soft Ground Tunnel Design is a textbook that teaches the principles of tunnel and underground space design in soft ground. ¿Soft ground¿ refers to soil, in contrast to rock. The book focuses on stability, prediction of ground movements, and structural design of the lining. It shows that the choice of excavation and support methods depends on ground stability, limitation of damage to the existing built environment, and health, safety and environmental considerations. </P><P>Beno¿Jones builds on the basic principles of soil-structure interaction, the three-dimensional effects of construction sequence, and the effects of construction on other surface or subsurface structures in steps of gradually increasing complexity. The use of worked examples throughout, and example problems at the end of each chapter, give the reader confidence to apply their knowledge. </P><P>Engineers and graduate students will be able to: </P><P>¿ understand the basis for choosing an underground construction met
