This volume of Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground
comprises a collection of 112 contributions from more than 25 countries
covering a wide range of topics on research, design and construction of
underground works in soft ground. These contributions will be presented at
the Tenth International Symposium on Geotechnical Aspects of Underground
Construction in Soft Ground, which will be held in Cambridge, United
Kingdom, 27-29th June 2022.
The symposium will be the latest in a series which began in New Delhi in 1994,
and was followed by symposia in London (1996), Tokyo (1999), Toulouse
(2002), Amsterdam (2005), Shanghai (2008), Rome (2011), Seoul (2014)
and Sao Paulo (2017). This symposium is organised by the Geotechnical
Research Group at the University of Cambridge, under the auspices of
Technical Committee TC204 of the International Society for Soil Mechanics
and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE).
The contributions cover topics including:
• Field case studies
• Sensing technologies and monitoring for underground construction in
soft ground
• Physical and numerical modelling of tunnels and deep excavations in

Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground represents a
valuable source of reference on the current practice of analysis, design, and
construction of tunnels and deep excavations in soft ground. The book is
particularly aimed at academics and professionals interested in geotechnical
and underground engineering.
