PROGNOSIS OF VIBRATIONS AND LOW FREQUENCY NOISE FOR A BORED TUNNEL IN SOFT SOILS

The city of Amsterdam plans to build a new 9 km long subway between the northern and southern part of Amsterdam. Part of the line will be built just below the old well-known canalhouses with the Tunnel Bore Method. The problem to be solved is that little is known about the transmission of vibrations passing a light, segmented and round tunnel in soft soils. The solution to this problem appeared to be an experiment in the recently bored 2nd Heinenoordtunnel near Rotterdam. The measurements and initial calculations show a chance for perceptible levels for vibration and low frequency noise in a wide area around the tunnel if no vibration-reduction measures would be taken. For the covering abstract see ITRD E107776.
