Session: Buried Structures & Subsurface Systems

ABSTRACT: This paper reviews the accepted practice and discusses some lessons learned regarding the design, analysis, construction and observation of tunnels and deep shafts in soils. Some general reflections are presented based on specific experiences related to actual tunnels and shafts built in Mexico Basin.

RESUMEN: Se revisan las prácticas actuales y se discuten algunas lecciones aprendidas en materia de análisis, diseño, construcción y observación del comportamiento de túneles y lumbreras en suelos. Se hacen reflexiones de carácter general sobre el tema, basadas en algunas experiencias específicas relacionadas con obras construidas o en proceso de construcción en la cuenca de México.
