DEEP EXCAVATION FOR AN UNDERGROUND RAILWAY IN HANNOVER, GERMANY

Special geotechnical aspects with deep urban excavation for an underground railway are dealt with here. It is shown that relaxation borings are an efficient measure for the reduction of pore water pressure loading on excavations in clay of very low permeability. In addition, calculation predictions for the settlement of an historical building immediately behind the excavation are presented and compared with measured settlement values.
