Tunnel engineering is one of the oldest, most interesting but also challenging engineering disciplines and demands not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience in geology, geomechanics, structural design, concrete construction, machine technology, construction process technology and construction management. The two-volume "Handbuch des Tunnel- und Stollenbaus" has been the standard reference for German-speaking tunnellers in theory and practice for 30 years. The new English edition is based on a revised and adapted version of the third German edition and reflects the latest state of knowledge. The book is published in two volumes, with the first being devoted to more practical themes of construction and construction process in drill and blast and mechanised tunnelling. Microtunnelling and ventilation are also dealt with. All chapters include practical examples.
o. Prof. em. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c. mult. Bernhard Maidl is the former Chair of Construction Technology, Tunnelling and Construction Management at the Ruhr University, Bochum. Prof. Maidl is currently partner of MTC - Maidl Tunnelconsultants GmbH & Co. KG, Munich and Duisburg.
Dr. Ulrich Maidl is the managing director of MTC - Maidl Tunnelconsultants GmbH & Co. KG, Munich and Duisburg as well as an officially appointed and sworn expert in tunneling and microtunnelling.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Thewes holds the Chair of Tunnelling and Construction Management at the Ruhr University, Bochum and is active in national and international associations.
