Preface

Technical Committee 204: “Underground Construction in Soft Ground” of the International Societyfor Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) was first established as TC28 in 1989 toprovide a forum for interchange of ideas and discussion amongst representative from different countrieswith an active interest in tunnelling and deep excavations in the urban environment. In 1994, under theChairmanship of Prof. Keiichi Fujita, TC28 organised its first symposium as a satellite event to the ISS­MGE International Conference in New Delhi. Since then, the host society of TC28 was handed over fromthe Japanese Geotechnical Society to the British Geotechnical Society, under the Chairmanship of ProfRobert Mair, and then to the French Geotechnical Society, under the Chairmanship of Prof. RichardKastner.

Over the years TC28 has always kept its commitment towards collecting information concerning thegeotechnical aspects of the design, construction and analysis of deep excavations, tunnels, and largeunderground structures in the urban environment, with particular emphasis on the development, effectsand control of ground movements, their interaction with existing structures, mitigation measures and riskmanagement. The success of the New Delhi symposium led to the strong feeling that organising regularevents would be both well received and productive so that five more International Symposia on "Geotech­nical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground" have been organised by TC28 since 1994.These were held every three years in London (1996), Tokyo (1999), Toulouse (2002), Amsterdam (2005),and Shanghai (2008). This volume of Proceedings is the outcome of the seventh symposium of the series,which was held in Roma in May 201 1. During the Symposium the Chairmanship of TC204 was handedover from Prof. Kastner to Prof Adam Bezuijen from the Netherlands.

The themes for the Roma Symposium were in line with the terms of reference of Technical Commit­tee TC204 and included tunnelling in soft ground, deep excavations, monitoring, numerical analysis, andmitigating measures. The call for papers drew an overwhelming response and over 200 abstracts werereceived, resulting in 116 technical papers accepted for publication in the proceedings and the attendanceof nearly 180 delegates from 30 Countries.

As customary, the first two days of the symposium consisted of technical discussion sessions,covering:

1. Construction, design, and measured performance of bored tunnels2. Physical and numerical modelling of deep excavations and bored tunnels3. Construction, design, and measured performance of deep excavations4. Design methods and predictive tools for deep excavations and bored tunnels5. Ground movements, interaction with existing structures and mitigation measures

During each of these sessions, a general report was presented together with a small number of selectedindividual papers. Oral presentations were followed by open debate and discussion.

At the beginning and at the end of each of the first two days four invited special lectures were deliv­ered by dr. Mario Aguillar Tellez (Mexico), Prof Charles WW Ng (Hong Kong), Prof Frits van Tol (theNetherlands) and Prof Sebastiano Rampello. Their lectures were devoted to the geotechnical aspects ofconstruction of the new Mexico City deep sewerage system (as a special contribution of TC2l4 "SoftSoils"), the long-term settlement mechanisms of tunnels in Shanghai, the lessons learned from the deepexcavations for North-South Line in Amsterdam, and the evaluation of the effects of tunnel excavation onhistorical buildings, drawing from experience gathered during construction of a subway line C in Roma.

In addition to standard technical sessions, two special sessions also took place during the first two daysof the Symposium, one devoted to an illustration of current activities of TC204 Working Groups, andanother one to an overview of Roma and Napoli underground extension projects.

On the third day of the Symposium technical visits were organised to the work sites of Line C of RomaUnderground, under construction at the time of the Symposium; for those delegates willing to stay, extra

xiii

technical visits to the construction sites of Linea l and Linea 6 of Napoli Underground were organisedon the fourth day.

This volume contains 128 papers, including the written versions of the reports on the activities ofTC204 working groups, of the general reports and ofthe invited lectures. All the papers that were submit­ted were peer-reviewed on a voluntary basis by members of TC204.

The success of the symposium must be attributed to the authors of the papers, the speakers at the sym­posium, the delegates who travelled to Roma to present their work orally or in the poster sessions and totake part in the discussion, and to friends and colleagues who accepted to act as chairmen of the technicalsessions for their task of keeping everybody (more or less) to time. All the same, the Symposium wouldnot have been possible without the efficiency and hard work of ing. Claudio Soccodato and Ms. SusannaAntonielli, and the tremendous support of the then Chairman and Secretary of TC204, Proi RichardKastner and dr. Jamie Standing.

Finally, thanks are due to the companies, both from Italy and from abroad, that were willing to givefinancial support to the organisation ofthe Symposium and that chose to use the Symposium as a show­case for their products and services; a list of the main sponsors and of the exhibitors is included in thisvolume of proceedings.
