TUNNELLING AND UNDERGROUND SPACE TECHNOLOGY incorporating

TRENCHLESS TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH

Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology is a combination of two previous Pergamon Journals: Underground Space,
the official journal of the American Underground-Space Association, published by Pergamon Press in cooperation with the
University of Minnesota from 1975 to 1985 (Volumes 1–10); and Advances in Tunnelling Technology and Subsurface Use, the
official journal of the International Tunnelling Association, published by Pergamon Press from 1981 to 1985 (Volumes 1–4).
Research and other technical papers are refereed by a panel of experts in the field of tunnelling and underground space
technology.
Trenchless Technology Research was first published as a supplement to TUST in 1986 as the official journal of the
International Society for Trenchless Technology. Research and other related technical papers are refereed by a panel of
experts in the field of trenchless technology. TTR was incorporated into TUST in 2002.
