Acknowledgements
This work forms part of a wider study of numerical modelling of compressed air
tunnelling. The author would like to acknowledge his gratitude to Professor H.J.
Bösch from the Technical University of Munich for his valuable co-operation
regarding the field data and to the Ministry of Higher Education of Iran and
CVCP for financial support for this research.
