Abstract: |
The new line from Stuttgart to Ulm is part of the new trans-European Main Line from Paris to Budapest. It crosses the Schwäbische Alb (Swabian Jura) and is divided for planning approval purposes into the sections Albvorland, Albaufstieg, Albhochfläche and Albabstieg (Alb foreland, climb, high plain and descent). While the high plain is mostly characterised by open-air line, long tunnels dominate the adjoining slope sections. Common to all these sections is a similar geology with karstified Weissjura limestone as the most frequent formation. The construction of a structurally safe and serviceable high-speed railway track demands careful handling of the karst. |
