| Abstract: |
The paper presents the application of the TMG (“Tunnel Multi Gallery”) concept to the construction of tunnels for high-speed railway lines. The TBM technique for tunnel building and the common solutions for tunnels to high-speed railway lines are presented, as well as, the main safety requirements for railway tunnels, particularly for those intended for high-speed trains. The TMG concept is presented, as well as, a solution for tunnels to high-speed railway lines based on the referred concept, in which the functional and the safety requirements are satisfied with much lower costs than with the conventional solutions. |
