Description

In the subject of Transportation Engineering, study of Harbour, Dock and Tunnel Engineering is essential. This well-known text-book now in its thoroughly revised and extensively enlarged Thirtieth edition, concisely formulates the basic principles of the subject matter in simple, lucid and easy language presented in two sections.

In this edition profusely added new matter meticulously also few chapters/topics are entirely rewritten with the inclusion of the latest developments in the field. Almost all the drawing are replaced with more detailing.

Section I – Harbour and Dock Engineering

is well-divided in twelve chapters. It discusses the topics on Harbour and Ports; Natural Phenomena: Tides, Wind and Waves; Protection facilities: Mound Breakwater, Wall Type Breakwater, Special Type Breakwater such as Floating Type, Hydraulic Type and Pneumatic Type Breakwater; Planning and Layout of Ports; Various other Facilities such as Docking Facilities (Wet Docks, Basins and Lock Gates); Repairing Facilities (Dry Docks, Slipways and Floating Docks); Approach Facilities (Entrance and Lock Gates); Loading Unloading Facilities (Quay Walls, Wharves, Piers, Dolphins, Jetties and Fenders); Storing Facilities (Aprons, Transit Sheds and Warehouses); Dredging Facilities and Guiding Facilities.

Section II – Tunnel Engineering

is also well-divided in twelve chapters. It discusses the topics on General Aspects of Tunnelling; Stages in Tunnel Construction; Shafts and Portals; Soil Classification and Various Tunnelling Methods for Soft Soils and Other Methods of Tunnelling; Tunnelling in Water Bearing Soils; Tunnelling in Rock; The New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) — Sequential Excavation Method; Tunnel Lining; Drainage of Tunnels; Lighting, Ventilation and Dust Control in Tunnels; and Safety in Tunnel Construction.

The Salient Features of this book are:

* 312 Self explanatory neatly drawn sketches, photographs,
* 465 Examination questions at the end of each chapter and
*    14 Useful tables.

The book in the present form will prove to be extremely useful to the students preparing for the Degree examinations in Civil Engineering of all the Indian Universities, Diploma examinations conducted by various Boards of Technical Education, Certificate Courses as well as for the A.M.I.E., U.P.S.C., G.A.T.E., I.E.S., and other similar competitive and professional examinations. It should also be an immense use to practicing Civil Engineers.
