Underground structures in urban areas
Abstract eng: The increasing size and population density of metropolitan areas and the along going traffic demands lead to the construction of large infrastructure projects. The construction of new underground structures has an influence on existing superstructures and the deconstruction of existing buildings has an influence on existing underground structures. To guarantee the stability and the serviceability of underground structures and the influenced buildings the soil-structure interaction has to be considered properly. To guarantee a safe and optimised design an independent peer review process during planning, design and the construction is necessary. The independent peer review process is based on the 4-eyeprinciple and helps to avoid time delay in the construction process, modifications of the construction, additional expenditure and in extreme cases even damages and accidents. The paper presents challenging construction projects in urban areas like the construction of a high speed railway tunnel close to World Heritage Properties of the UNESCO and the deconstruction of a high-rise building located directly on an underground station. Based on the experiences made by these projects recommendations are given for new projects in urban areas. 2 Construction works next to sensitive historical buildings
