Features: This book is a systematic introduction to the construction techniques of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) in different geological strata. It includes the basic structure and working principles of TBMs, the working objects and characteristics of TBMs, an introduction to tunnel surveying, full-face tunneling methods, technical preparations before TBM construction, TBM construction technology, the performance of full-face rock TBMs, full-face rock TBM construction technology, and full-face mechanized construction techniques for composite geological tunnels. Finally, it introduces typical examples of TBM construction projects. This book is suitable for engineering technicians and university teachers and students engaged in mechanical engineering, as well as those working in railway, highway tunnels, urban subway systems, water diversion tunnels for water conservancy and hydropower, and coal mine roadways. The book covers the basic structure and working principles of TBMs, the working objects and characteristics of TBMs, an introduction to tunnel surveying, full-face tunneling methods, technical preparations before TBM construction, and TBM construction technology.
