GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS IN RISK ANALYSIS OF DEEP EXCAVATIONS FOR UNDERGROUND TRAFFIC SYSTEMS

Uncertainty in geotechnical engineering leads to high risk especially in underground construction work. This problem is analyzed with the "wall-bottom construction" installed for deep excavations in Berlin with respect to system safety. The complex total risk may be broken down in comprehensive components using a safety cube analysis. Finally, the risks and the costs of the measures must be clearly divided among the participants.
