Features: This book consists of 27 chapters and 1.6 million words, comprehensively and systematically elaborating on the construction principles, design methods, construction methods, construction equipment, and quality management methods of shield tunnels (tunnels constructed using the shield method). The book's distinctive feature is its emphasis on the latest research achievements in the international shield tunneling field in recent years, highlighting the novelty of these advancements. The entire book integrates theory with practice, introducing not only the theory of new technologies and methods but also validation experiments and on-site construction case studies. These provide significant reference value for the design, construction, and management of actual projects, with some being directly applicable. These new technologies and methods not only help solve current challenges in projects such as subway systems, sewage disposal, water supply, underwater tunnels for rivers, lakes, and seas, as well as power and telecommunications tunnels in China but also improve engineering quality, shorten construction schedules, and reduce project costs from a fundamental perspective. They offer substantial social benefits and broad application potential. This book serves as a professional reference for shield tunneling researchers, designers, construction personnel, supervisors, engineering surveyors, and university teachers, and is also an ideal textbook for doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students.
