Standard Specifications for Tunneling-2006: Shield Tunnels
Author: Japan Society of Civil Engineers | Size: 20 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: Japan Society of Civil Engineers | Year: 2006 | pages: 284
Abstract
The shield tunneling method has rapidly become popular in Japan as a versatile tunneling method in urban areas and for building infrastructure such as railroads and roads and power supply, communication, water supply and sewerage lines. The first guidelines for the design and construction of shield tunnels in Japan were the "Japanese Guideline for Shield Tunneling" published in 1969. This Guideline formed the basis of the "Japanese Standard for Shield Tunneling", which was enacted in January 1977. After 1977, closed-face type shields were introduced and methods for shield tunneling progressed rapidly with the accumulation of experience through tunneling in congested urban areas and in soft ground. The "Japanese Standard for Shield Tunneling" was also revised three times, in 1986, 1996, and 2000, to keep up with the new developments in tunneling methods. This manual is a faithful translation from the original Japanese of the major topics in the "Standard Specification for Tunneling (Shield Tunnels)". When applying this manual, the following points need to be noted:
1. This manual refers to the closed-face type shield tunneling method as the standard method. This method has been developed in Japan for good performance under various conditions in urban areas.
2. The manual contains no reference to "TBM (tunnel boring machine)".
3. The allowable stress design method is primarily adopted, though the limit state design method is added to complement the allowable stress method.
4. The laws, regulations, and government ministries specified in this manual refer to the country of Japan and apply only when using the shield tunneling method in Japan. When constructing shield tunnels outside Japan, the user must identify and comply with the appropriate corresponding rules, regulations, and ministries of the country where the project is located.
We hope that this English version of this "Standard Specification for Tunneling (Shield Tunnels)" will help spread the remarkable Japanese technology for shield tunneling around the world. Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to all the members of the committee for the enormous time and effort they have devoted to this publication.

BS 8213-1:2004 Windows doors and rooflights. Design for safety in use and during cleaning of windows, including door-height windows and roof windows. Code of practice
This British Standard, a part of the BS 8213 series, gives recommendations on the design, construction, operation and maintenance of windows, including door height windows, for safety in use and during cleaning, including safe opening characteristics and the arrangement of window controls, to safeguard occupants and passers-by. The recommendations for safety for windows also apply to roof windows, where relevant. Guidance on safety for rooflights is excluded from this document.
The guidance given in this standard is in addition to legislative requirements, which take precedence, and is suitable for new buildings and for upgrading and refurbishment works. It is aimed at all those involved in the specification, design, selection and use of windows, including public authorities, house-builders, architects, surveyors, window designers, window installers, glazing contractors and building owners. It may also be useful to building occupiers.
The guidance is primarily intended for use in residential accommodation, but many of the recommendations are applicable to other building types, to which health and safety legislation applies.
Reach capabilities, recommendations on safety restrictors, basic guidance on design for safe cleaning and maintenance of external and internal glazing at height, and recommendations for safe working practices in the use of portable ladders where necessary, after assessment of the use of the other methods of safe temporary access given in this standard’s annexes.
This code of practice is not intended to offer comprehensive guidance for maintenance and redecoration of windows, where more specific safety measures are required.

This book focuses on the interpretation of geological structures in terms of plate tectonics. The author deals firstly with the important properties of the lithosphere and the theoretical background needed to understand plate movements and plate interactions. He then goes on to describe the mechanical properties of plates, and the sources and distribution of stress in the lithosphere. The causes of plate motion are examined, along with the kinematic and geometric aspects of relative plate movements and interactions, whilst structures and plate movements in different tectonic regimes (divergent, convergent, intraplate and strike-slip) are discussed in some detail. Case studies are included, with specific examples from Phanerozoic and Precambrian orogenies. This book should be of interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate geologists, and should serve as a reference source for geophyscists.
