Costs and benefits of underground transit alignments
PUBLICATIONS The editors invite books, proceedings, and research reports on the planning, management, design, construction, and use of underground space and on work in related fields, as well as abstracts and announcements o f the publications, to be sent to Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology for inclusion in the Publications department.
BeFo Annual Report 1987. Swedish Rock Engineering Research Foundation (BcFo). 8 pp. This annual report of the ITA's national tunnelling group summarizes the research performed by BcFo during 1987. This research is carried out under the direction of BcFo in specially organized groups within Swedish companies, universities of technology and other research institutes. The report describes BcFo's organization, role and forms of operation, as well as selected research activities in site investigations, analysis and design, rock excavation (full-face and tunnel boring), rock reinforcement and grouting, mining of narrow ore bodies, cut-and-fill mining, and energy storage. A list of projects comprising BeFo's 1987-90 research program also is included. For a copy of the report or more information, write: BeFo, Storgatan 19, P.O. Box 5501, S-114 85 Stockholm, Sweden.
Costs and Benefits of Underground Transit Alignments. 1988. American Underground-Space Association. 142 pp. This volume of proceedings is from a colloquium presented by the International Tunnelling Association (ITA) and the American Underground Space Association (AUA), held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, March 1415, 1988. The book is divided into two main sections. The first, "The International Experience," reprints papers presented by Gunter Girnau, Director of the German research group STUVA, and former president of the ITA; and JeanPaul Godard, a chief engineer for R.A.T.P., Paris, and vice-chairman of the ITA's working group on cost-benefits of urban underground transportation. The second section, includes three "North American Case Studies" of underground urban transportation in Pittsburgh, Pa., Edmonton, Canada, and Toronto, Canada. Both sections also include transcriptions of the questionanswer sessions that followed the presentations. The proceedings are available from the American Underground-Space Association, 511-11th Ave. So., Box 320, Minneapolis, MN 55415, U.S.A.
Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics: Recent Advances in Ground-Motion Evaluation. J.
Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology, VoI. 3, No. 4, p. 423, 1988. Printed in Great Britain.
Lawrence Von Thun, Ed. American Society of Civil Engineers. 1988. 603 pp. US$46.00. This book contains the proceedings of a specialty conference sponsored by the ASCE's Geotechnical Engineering Division on earthquake groundmotion specifications for design and analysis of engineering structures. Papers cover different aspects of ground-motion determination and include writings by engineers, geophysicists and seismologists discussing various considerations of each of these groups in portraying ground motions.
Proceedings of the Society of Explosives Engineers 14th Annual Conference on Explosives and Blasting Techniques. Society of Explosives Engineers. 1988. US$30.00. This publication is intended to keep people in the explosives profession abreast of the most current regulations, technology and research results. The papers are international in scope and deal with the many aspects of explosives use: mining, demolition, construction, etc. The proceedings may be ordered from Publications, Society of Explosives Engineers, 33610 Solon Road, Solon, OH 44139 U.S.A.
