Background Measurements in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory [PDF]
The gamma background flux below 3000 keV in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), Italy, has been measured using a 3" diameter NaI(Tl) detector at different underground positions: In hall A, hall B, the interferometer tunnel, and inside the ...

Arguments for a "U.S. Kamioka": SNOLab and its Implications for North American Underground Science Planning [PDF]
We argue for a cost-effective, long-term North American underground science strategy based on partnership with Canada and initial construction of a modest U.S. Stage I laboratory designed to complement SNOLab.

Microclimate variations between semienclosed and open sections of a marathon route [PDF]
The Hong Kong Standard Chartered Marathon, held annually, is one of the most popular international marathon events. Its primarily urban environmental setting characterized by high-density urban areas, semienclosed tunnels, and suspension bridges ...

TBM pressure models: calculation tools [PDF]
Mechanized tunnel construction in soft ground has evolved significantly over the last 20 years, especially on the matter of settlement control. This was achieved by guiding the TBM operation to control the main factors that induce soil displacements ...

The Interaction Between Shield, Ground and Tunnel Support in TBM Tunnelling Through Squeezing Ground [PDF]
When planning a TBM drive in squeezing ground, the tunnelling engineer faces a complex problem involving a number of conflicting factors. In this respect, numerical analyses represent a helpful decision aid as they provide a quantitative assessment of ...

Foam used during EPB tunnelling in saturated sand, parameters determining foam consumption [PDF]
The amount of foam injected during drilling with an EPB-shield in saturated sand is quite often based on experience and/or empiric relations. A method is presented in to calculate the amount of foam needed to create a muck with limited or no grain stress.
