CONSIDERATIONS ON THE REVISION OF THE TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION RULES

GEDANKEN ZUR NEUBEARBEITUNG DER TUNNELBAUVORSCHRIFTEN

The author outlines the development of tunnel construction rules in the German-speaking countries. The concept of the "tunnel" can be variously interpreted. The fundamental change in tunnel building methods in the last twenty years is described (so-called "New Austrian Tunneling Practice"). The article concludes with a consideration of the proposed revision of "Tunnel Construction Rules (DV 802)", "Rules for Structures of Underground Railways, Enclosed Type (DV 802)" and the DB's design manual for structures, which must be seen in relation to each other.
