The book offers very valuable contribution to the current knowledge on how and why accidents and emergencies occur during construction and use of transportation and subway tunnels. The book contains the results of extensive research which has brought together information about a huge variety of international accident and emergency situations dealing with fires, explosions, gas and smoke accumulation, collapses, inundations, earthquakes, ground movements, avalanches, etc. in tunnels. The authors' objective is to produce a categorized information on a world-wide basis concerning different types of emergency situations in tunnelling and to reveal improvements that could be made to engineering project decision making. Accidents in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Heathrow, Paris, Seikan, Hamburg, Storebaelt, San Paolo, among others are elucidated.
