Characteristics and potential of the NATM, ADECO‐RS and mechanised methods of tunnelling / Charakteristika und Potenziale der Tunnelbaumethoden NÖT, ADECO‐RS und TVM

Abstract

In order to drive an underground tunnel, current technology offers plenty of methods. Only generally applicable statements can be made about the selection of a suitable method, as this depends on project-specific conditions. In this article, three current methods of tunnelling are compared and their characteristics and potential are described in order to produce a system for the selection of the best option.
