Alternative Methods for Underground Station Construction in Japan

B. C. Paulson

This report describes less disruptive methods used in Japan for deep excavation of stations in soft ground. It examines designs, procedures, costs and schedules, and evaluates their suitability for applications on future U.S. transit projects. The following methods were studied and evaluated: (1) standardized panel decking systems; (2) 'reverse-construction' for top-down construction; and (3) 'Kanzashi-beam' for underground mining.
