      abstract = {This book presents the theoretical bases and the  application tools for using the 'convergence-confinement'  method which is a rational method largely used in design  engineering for tunneling. Until recently, the stability  conditions of underground works and the choice of support  methods were essentially defined on the basis of good  practice or empirical methods. The progress made, on one  hand on the knowledge of the constitutive laws of soils and  rocks and, on the other hand on the numerical modeling of  the interaction between the ground and the structures have  led to the development of robust design tools for tunnels  supports. The convergence-confinement method makes it  possible to simulate the excavation of a tunnel and the  installation of the support using a simple plane strain  model. The book presents the theoretical bases of the  method and its most recent developments. Closed-form  solutions for stress and displacement fields around tunnels  are provided for elastic, viscoelastic and elasto-plastic  behavior of the ground. More generally, the principles for  applying the method in numerical models are presented.},
