Technical note: Geotechnical conditions and hazards of urban tunneling in Tehran, Case Study: Motevaselian Tunnel

Engineering Geology and geotechnical parameters assessment is of the most important issues in successful tunnel design and construction operation. In urban areas, exact and complete reconnaissance of these parameters and site investigations are more critical as a result of the intensified effect of...
