| Summary | "Tunneling: A Practical Treatise" by Charles Prelini is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive work focuses on the principles and practices of tunnel construction, detailing the historical development of tunneling techniques and modern methodologies employed in this field of civil engineering. It includes extensive illustrations and insights into various tunneling methods used across different geological conditions. The opening of this treatise presents a historical overview of tunneling, illustrating its evolution from ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians and Romans, to modern methods employed in infrastructural projects. It discusses early techniques, the introduction of explosives, and advances in machinery that have revolutionized the field, emphasizing the significance of geological surveys and engineering principles in making informed decisions about tunnel construction. This rich context sets the stage for a detailed exploration into the practical aspects of tunneling that follows in subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
