THE CONSTRUCTION OF TUNNELS FOR THE NEW LINES TO BE BUILT BY THE DB

DER TUNNELBAN IM ZUGE DER NEUBAUSTRECKEN DER DEUTSCHEN BUNDESBAHN

The difficult problem of the layout of tunnels to be constructed, for new DB lines, is dealt with from the engineer consultant standpoint. The author highlights the details of mechanised boring and considers all its aspects, account being taken of the dimensions of the transversal section, the equipment used and protection procedures. In conclusion, he proposes tunnel borings for single and double line traffic working for speeds in the region of 300 km/h.
