TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION ON THE GERMAN FEDERAL RAILWAY'S NEW ROUTES

DER TUNNELBAU IM ZUGE DER NEUBAUSTRECKEN DER DEUTSCHEN BUNDESBAHN

The difficult matter of tunnel profile selection on new railway routes is discussed from the standpoint of the consulting engineer. The possibility of mechanized advance is assumed in all cases, and is examined in detail in relation to the size of the excavation, the cross-sectional form, equipment use and safety measures. Various tunnel cross-sections for single- and double-track operation at 300 km/h are put forward for consideration.
