Secure Subway Supports
The object of this paper is to describe the problems met in the construction of Section 13 of the Lexington Avenue Subway, New York City, to state how those problems were solved, and to give the reasons for the methods selected. Deep and wide rock cuts made Section 13 one of the most difficult parts of the subway work. It was necessary to have an improved system of street supports in order to insure safety, and attempts were made to forsee such dangers as those caused by blasting and by rock slides.
