Title: Posibles obras para el control de subsidencia producto de un tramo de túnel del metro de Bogotá
Description: Geomechanical properties and engineering techniques taken into consideration during the construction of an urban tunnel for the metro in Bogotá, the first engineering work of this magnitude in the country.
