CHANNEL TUNNEL TUNNELS CONSTRUCTION Author Pierre-Jean Pompée Scope Within the 5 years following contract award, 3 parallel tunnels, 50.5 km each, had to be driven and lined with high-strengh precast segments : 38 km undersea, 3.2 underland in France, 9.3 km underland in UK. 2/3 of the total had to be excavated from UK side, and 1/3 from French side where ground conditions were unfavourable. 6 drives (total 12), 3 to the sea and 3 to the land have been conducted from each of the two tunneling sites, located as close as possible to the sea : Shakespeare Cliff (west of Dover) on the UK side, and Sangatte (west of Calais) in France. The service tunnel (ST) has a internal diameter of 4.8 m (excavated diam.5.8 m). The two running tunnels (RT) are at 30 m distance, lined diameter is 7.6 m (excavated diam.8.8 m). They are connected together by 194 piston relief ducts (every 250 m, diam 2 m), and by 270 cross passages (every 375 m) and 210 technical rooms (all diam 3.3 m) to the service tunnel, requiring special cast iron segments at each junction. Geology and alignment Many geotechnical investigations have been carried out across the Channel since 1875, including over 100 boreholes. Total information available including final investigation after contract award and geophysical survey undertaken in 1988, (specifically for crossing beneath the Fosse Dangeard and crossovers sites),comprised: - 120 marine boreholes and about 1,000 km of geophysical (seismic reflection), traverse

In less than eight days the tunnel was complete with a concrete ceiling throughout. Ligação do Atlântico ao Mediterrâneo Pierre-Paul Riquet, cobrador da gabela(imposto sobre o sal) em Languedoc, obtém a atenção de Luís XIV, que vê aí a oportunidade de marcar o seu reinado com uma obra imperecível. O édito real de outubro de 1666 autoriza a construção do canal. Foto de riquet O Canal do Midi é um canal artificial que se localiza na região do Midi, na França. É o mais antigo canal…

establishing the context for your study of aircraft design, consider briefly its history. This section will acquaint you with the most significant personalities, aircraft, and events in the history of aviation and aircraft design. As you read, note how aircraft designs were equally influenced by customer needs and available technology. Also note the profound influence aircraft designs have had on the recent history of the world. 1.1 Early Years Man’s early thinking about flying was…

Vento. ABSTRACT Aerodynamics is the study of the movements and interactions of bodies with fluid, being relative to their characteristics and physical properties and the forces acting on solids when immersed. It is directly connected with the car project, aircraft project, ship project, building project, among others. With the objective of ensuring the best performance and safety, where the wind tunnels are tools to analyze and simulate the action of the air on objects. Thus, this…

have been corrected. For example, the text now corresponds exactly with the runes on Thror’s Map. More important is the matter of Chapter Five. There the true story of the ending of the Riddle Game, as it was eventually revealed (under pressure) by Bilbo to Gandalf, is now given according to the Red Book, in place of the version Bilbo first gave to his friends, and actually set down in his diary. This departure from truth on the part of a most honest hobbit was a portent of great…
