Culverts: Analysis of soil culvert interaction and design
Transportation Research Record N1008, 1985, 122P
Sixteen papers are presented. Fifteen deal with various fea-
tures of design, performance or soil structure interaction for
buried structures (pipes, conduits, tunnels) or bridie arches.
The remaining paper is concerned with the mechanical proper-
ties of grouted sands.

Live-load response of a soil-steel structure with a relieving
slab
Bakht, B
Tram Res Ret N1008, 1985, PI-7
Soil-structure interaction is reported for two shallow-buried
elliptical steel culverts, one with a relieving slab to reduce live-
load effects under vehicular loading. Instrumentation used and
test details are described. Comparison of results showed that
the slab led to a reduction in live-load thrusts and moments in
the steel shell. A simplified procedure is given to explain this
phenomenon.

Deflections and strains in buried FRP pipes subjected to
various installation conditions
Moser. A P; Bishop, R R; Shupe, 0 K; Bair, D R
Tram Res Ret N1008, 1985, P109-II6
The effects of soil type and density, material properties of the
pipe and installation procedures on the soil structure interac-
tion and deformations of buried fibre-reinforced plastic pipes
have been examined. Poor haunching, the loose placement of
soils in the haunch zones. with no effort to compact to the
prescribed density. was the most significant variable in the
installation procedure.

Behaviour of braced cut in connection with construction of
large underground station
Uchida, S; Ito, H; Kaino, T; Tarumi, H

Geotechnical Engineering, RoUa, Missouri, 6-11 May 1984
VI, P347-354. Pub1 St Louis: Georechnical Engineering, 1984
The behaviour of an underground diaphragm wall in the Ueno
Station. Japan,is described. Earth pressure, wall displacements
and groundwater levels during construction were monitored.
Actual and calculated earth pressure values agreed qualita-
tively but not quantitatively. Data acquired from this project
can be used to improve predictive methods for the behaviour
of this type of structure.

Tunnelling in Norway 1983 (In Norwegian)
Kure, K
Norw Geotech inst Publ NI57, 1985, PII-
The tunnelling in 1983 is described and the variety of construc-
tion techniques used in this year, and over previous years, is
discussed. Full-face tunnelling machines are becoming more
widely used in Norway.

Bochum Ring Road: planning and choice of construction
method
Steineheuser, G; Maidl, B
Rock Mech V18, N2, April-June 198.5, P63-76
An account of the investigation for and construction of the
tunnels for West Tangent of the Ring Road in Bochum. The
classical stoping method was chosen as the cheapest and
quickest. In poor geological conditions, further subdivision of
the cross-section was required. After the roof collapsed, exca-
vation work with a centrally positioned pilot tunnel was
stopped. By changing to the top heading method. geological
difficulties encountered were controlled. and work was
completed.

Limitsquilibrium stability analysis of spiling soil
reinforcement in tunneling
Bang, S
Trans Res Ret N1008, 1985, P58-62
A limit equilibrium analysis for spiling reinforcement in soft
ground tunnelling is presented. Radially installed spiles arc
inserted along the perimeter of the tunnel opening before exca-
vation, reinforcing both radially and longitudinafly. The sys-
tem gives temporary support without loosening the weak
mass. The analysis takes into account soil properties and the
geometry of the tunnel and spiles. It can be used to evaluate
the overall stability and to determine design parameters of the
system.

West German lead in European small bore technology
Jones. B
Tunn Tunnlg VI 7, N7, July 1985, P39-41
Review of papers given at a conference held in Bochum, West
Germany, dealing predominantly with small bores of diame-
ters less than Im. discussing the techniques for pipe jacking,
the materials used, methods of surveying, economics and the
environment.

Soft ground tunnel shields in Japan
Yoshikawa, T
Tunn Tunnlg VI7, N7. July 1985, P43-47
In Japan, the shield tunnelling method is increasingly being
used for projects such as underground railway lines, sewers
and other utility networks. A classification of shield machines
is described, with the use or non-use of compressed air being
the major division into two types, conventional and special.

Settlements due to tunnelling in Hong Kong
Cater, R W; Shirlaw, J N
Tunn Tunnlg VI7, NIO. Ott 1985, P25-28
Tunnels were driven for the Mass Transit Railway through
regions with a variety of geological structures. Initial moni-
tored settlements were less than calculated, suggesting expen-
sive preventative measures could prove unnecessary. The
effects of tunnelling method and geology, and the apportion-
ment of settlement between tunnelling and dewatering on
decompression for compressed air tunnelling were investi-
gated. Tunnels can and have been driven with little settlement,
provided effective support is quickly introduced when cohe-
sionless sands are encountered or there is a high proportion of
rock in the face for shield driven tunnels. Advice on prediction
of settlements is given.
