GEOLOGICAL CAUSES OF LANDSLIDES DURING TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION
GEOLOGISCHE URSACHEN VON VERBRUECHEN IM TUNNELBAU
All landslides threaten the lives of people working in tunnels. It is moreover costly in both time and money to clear them away. Wide-section tunnels make landslides even more dangerous, especially during construction. The article describes the different types of landslide (surface subsidence and caving in), their relation to construction methods and the geological causes (exceeding of the rock's load capacity faults in the rock, land movements, inadequate tunnel lining, building materials with poor cohesive qualities, sliding land masses) and preventive measures.
