underground tunnels
(OP)
is there a good book about tunnel engineering for underground power cables ?
thanx

Have you considered posting in the civil engineering forum?
RE: underground tunnels
temperature: you need to know what it is. Utility tunnels with steam pipes can be very hot, which may require derating the cable ampacity.
corrosion: personal experience tells me to stay away from exposed aluminum as it will corrode rapidly in a moist environment. I've seen aluminum cable tray in utility tunnels fall apart within 10 years. Use hot-dipped galvanized steel, stainless or non-metallic materials.
jacket: must be impervious to moisture. Don't use unjacketed C.N. cable or unjacketed CLX.
support: cable tray?
Does this help?
