ANWENDUNG DER NEUEN OSTERREICHISCHEN TUNNELBAUWEISE BEIM U-UND S-BAHNBAU IN DER BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND

This underground mode of construction was adopted for the development of urban and S-Bahn tunnels, especially where friable and cohesive soils were involved. The method was improved in order to prolong stability of the terrain. The author deals with questions relating to stability, surface settlement, tunnel sections, opening of enlarged sections for branch lines and stations, as well as measures for prolonging soil stability.
