| Abstract: |
In the paper, three innovative and very cost-effective concepts for the construction of tunnels using the TBM (“Tunnel Boring Machine”) technique are presented: the TISB concept for tunnels in soft soil, in seismic areas, and the TMG and TMF concepts, for railway and roadway tunnels, respectively. The added-value obtained with the use of these concepts in the construction of tunnels in the future is emphasized. |
