Abstract: |
The new metro line in Thessaloniki includes, besides the excavation of two twin tunnels, the construction of 13 stations with central platform in settlement-reducing top-to-down construction method. Due to restrictions in available space, it was necessary to dispense with the construction of an inner shell. Further constraints were the soft and highly inhomogeneous soil, the large excavation depths in groundwater, and the earthquake-resistant design of the structures. The special foundation works executed for permanent uplift safety as well for the soil strengthening in front of the excavation walls are described for representative stations. |
