Which one of the following linings is suitable for shield driven tunnels particularly in the subaqueous regions :
-
In case of railways,
-
The following tunnels were constructed in different countries for different purposes :
1. Emperor Claudius built the first Roman tunnel
2. The first highway tunnel was constructed in Hungary
3. The first underground railway tunnel was constructed in Great Britain
