Prefabricated Structural Members for Cut-and-Cover Tunnels. Volume 2. Three Case Studies
This report is the second of two volumes. The design concepts for the use of prefabricated structural members on cut-and-cover tunnels developed in Volume 1 (PB-273 530) are tested on three sites where transportation tunnels are being considered. The sites represent a diversity of site conditions, grades and tunnel depths. The site studies confirm the feasibility of many of the concepts proposed in Volume 1. Cost savings in the order of 7 to 13 percent of the structural costs are indicated. Construction time will usually be saved, and a dramatic difference in surface disruption is shown in Case Study 1, the only site studied where such disruption was an important factor. The use of prefabricated members for tunnel approaches and other depressed roadways is investigated in Case Study 2.
