Seingre, Gérard; Ihly, Thomas; Frei, Hans Rudolf | The Nant De Drance pumped storage station - a large underground power station in the Valais Alps / Pumpspeicherwerk Nant De Drance - ein großes unterirdisches Wasserkraftwerk in den Walliser Alpen | Geomechanics and Tunnelling | 6/2011 | 627-642 | Topics |
KurzfassungAs the demand for electrical energy in Europe is constantly increasing, particularly at peak times, the pumped storage power station under construction at Nant de Drance in the canton of Valais has assumed a central position in the new Swiss energy policy. This power station represents an ideal means of storing large quantities of energy, which is generated more and more from wind and solar with their unreliable delivery dependent on meteorological conditions. x | |||||

Kornadt, Oliver; Vogel, Albert | The new German soundproofing standard: Comparison between DIN 4109:1989 and E DIN 4109:2013 / Die neue Schallschutznorm: Vergleich DIN 4109:1989 und E DIN 4109:2013 | Mauerwerk | 2/2015 | 110-118 | Fachthemen |
KurzfassungIn 2013, a new draft of a complete standard for DIN 4109 “Soundproofing in buildings” was issued in 4 parts - “Requirements”, “Method of calculation”, “Parts catalogue” and “Testing acoustics in buildings”. It includes several increases in the requirements for protection against airborne noise and impact sound by comparison to DIN 4109:1989. The increases are based on the grades from monitored buildings of standard construction periodically noted in recent years. Significant changes are also included in Part 2 “Input data for verifying the requirements by calculation”. A detailed computation of all transmission paths is carried out here, taking into account the special vibration reducing indices. For a brick wall, the specific indices for the weighted sound reduction index R’w,R are shown that arise for various formations of the joints. When compared with the calculated values according to DIN 4109:1989 there are differences of up to 10 dB. x | |||||
Crémer, Jean-Marie; de Ville de Goyet, Vincent; Counasse, Clément; Duchêne, Yves; Fagnoul, Véronique | The new Guillemins station - a railway station for high-speed trains | Stahlbau | 1/2011 | 46-60 | Berichte |
KurzfassungIn Liège, the existing railway infrastructure was not capable of being properly used by high-speed trains. A number of elements handicapped the site of the old station: curved platforms that were too narrow, an approach speed to the station that was too low, numerous track intersections and poor positioning of the Brussels-Germany line, even though it carries the most traffic. In comparison with the old building, the route through the new station has been moved 150 m in order to meet two requirements: x | |||||
Bassignana, M.; Bertelli, M. | The new headquarters for the Lombardy Regional Government: a transparent inner court roof structure | Steel Construction | 1/2010 | 8-13 | Articles |
KurzfassungThe use of innovative solutions and research into lightness demands new and more complex design skills. The traditional approach to the solution of structures has been superseded by an iterative approach where all the aspects of every element designed play an important role. For the transparent inner court canopy at the Lombardy Regional Government headquarters, the project is the result of the different aspects of the building: the supporting buildings, the dimensions of the structure, the time of construction and, above all, the use of an ETFE pneumatic membrane roof covering. It is the ETFE roofing in particular that permits the design of lighter supporting frameworks. This article describes the whole building, focusing on the design steps for the transparent canopy in particular. x | |||||
Leitner, Andreas; Herzfeld, Thomas; Nebois, Christian; Schreitl, Bernhard; Wageneder, Johannes | The new line crossing U2/U5 of the Vienna subway / Das neue Linienkreuz U2/U5 der Wiener U-Bahn | Geomechanics and Tunnelling | 4/2017 | 395-405 | Topics |
KurzfassungVienna is not only a growing city but also one with a high quality of life. One reason for this is the availability of good public transport services, the heart of which is the subway system, which has been steadily extended for 40 years. In order to relieve Line U6 and provide better conditions for changing trains, an underground route will be constructed for Line 2 in the next few years through the densely built-up 19th century part of the city starting from Rathaus station and running to Matzleinsdorfer Platz. Most of the running tunnels will be bored with an EPB machine while the station tunnels, crossovers and cross passages will be excavated conventionally using the New Austrian Tunnelling Method. Most of the tunnels pass through Miocene silt. In addition, a section with driverless operation and platform doors is planned for the construction of the U5 in order to gain experience for future extensions. x | |||||
Seywald, Christian; Rettenbacher, Martin | The new railway line between Köstendorf and Salzburg - Looking back to the past and forward to the future / Die Neubaustrecke Köstendorf-Salzburg - Ein Blick von der Vergangenheit in die Zukunft | Geomechanics and Tunnelling | 6/2022 | 711-719 | Topics |
KurzfassungTo increase capacity and reduce travel time for long-distance traffic, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG) are planning a new railway line between Köstendorf and Salzburg. The centrepiece of the project is the Flachgau Tunnel - an approx. 16 km long, twin-tube single-track tunnel system. The selected tunnel alignment ''K5 optimiert'' was developed in a multi-year route selection procedure. Further optimisation within the current design stage - the detailed submission - achieved a 200 m shortening in tunnel length. The chosen standard cross-section was substantiated with life-cycle-cost and carbon-footprint investigations which also coincided with experiences from the construction and operation of existing tunnel structures with varying cross-sections and travel speeds. Both studies show the advantages of the larger 54 m2 cross-section compared to a smaller 44 m2 cross-section. Complex hydrogeological conditions require a water pressure-tight tunnel design capable of withstanding a maximum pressure of approx. 11 bar. These conditions are especially challenging for conventional tunnelling methods and require a waterproofing concept with two independent sealing layers. At present, the construction of the project is scheduled to take place from 2027 until 2040. x | |||||
Gobiet, Gerhard | The New Semmering Base Tunnel - project overview / Der Semmering-Basistunnel neu - das Projekt im Ãœberblick | Geomechanics and Tunnelling | 6/2013 | 680-687 | Topics |
KurzfassungThe New Semmering Base Tunnel (SBTn) has been designed with a flat gradient to meet the requirement for uniform high-speed rail infrastructure for the new Südbahn line, which is considered an internationally significant transport corridor for Austria as an industrial location. The 27.3 km tunnel is divided into a number of construction sections with separate contracts due to the geological and hydrogeological conditions. In addition to the tunnel drives from the Gloggnitz portal, the tunnel will also be driven from three intermediate starting points. The individual tunnelling contracts will be started at intervals of about one year. The first tunnelling contract starts in 2014 in the Fröschnitzgraben, the drives in Gloggnitz and the intermediate starting point at Göstritz in 2015 and the tunnel drive in Grautschenhof from 2016. From 2021, when all tunnelling works have been completed and the structure of the two running tunnels has been completed, the installation of the tunnel equipment will start. Opening for service is intended for the end of 2014. x | |||||
Daller, Josef; Atzl, Georg; Weigl, Johannes | The new Semmering base tunnel - tunnel design in the fault zone / Semmering-Basistunnel neu - Tunneldesign in der Störungszone | Geomechanics and Tunnelling | 3/2011 | 237-254 | Topics |
KurzfassungDuring the design work for the permit application for the approximately 27.3 km long new Semmering Base Tunnel between Gloggnitz and Mürzzuschlag, it has become apparent that due to its extent, the section through the Graßberg-Schlagl fault system will be more problematic than had been assumed during the route selection process. The article discusses the technical possibilities for the construction of the running tunnels through the fault zone. Support concepts with a second layer of shotcrete and short ring closure are investigated using numerical, timedependent calculations. The time dependence is influenced by the advance-rate and the consolidation of the fault material. The determination of the rock characteristics for the core fault zone is based on triaxial compression tests. x | |||||
Gobiet, G.; Haas, D. | The New Semmering Base Tunnel project - an interdisciplinary challenge / Das Projekt Semmering-Basistunnel neu - Eine interdisziplinäre Herausforderung | Geomechanics and Tunnelling | 2/2010 | 110-118 | Topics |
KurzfassungAfter receiving the commission to develop a New Semmering Base Tunnel in early 2005, the ÖBB-Infrastruktur (Bau) AG (Austrian Railways) undertook a three-year route selection process leading to the determination of the Pfaffensattel route as the best variant for the New Semmering Base Tunnel. Extensive design work on this route is underway at the moment in all disciplines. The aim is to produce the documentation to hand in for official approval by the early part of this year, and this should show a wide understanding and agreement of all project parties as well as technical quality. x | |||||

It is planned to consider infrastructure elements such as railway stations and airport structures in a future article. x | |||||
Kido, Ewa Maria; Cywinski, Zbigniew | The new steel-glass architecture of passenger service centres on expressways in Japan | Steel Construction | 3/2015 | 210-215 | Report |
KurzfassungNowadays, modern expressways worldwide are becoming very important arteries for the quick and safe transportation of people and goods. Service centres are located along these roads for the convenience of drivers and passengers. Those centres consist of buildings and other infrastructure elements and provide various services. Usually, buildings represent contemporary trends in architecture and structural engineering. Steel and glass are widely used. This is also the case in Japan but, simultaneously, adequate approaches are being made to respect the country’s own traditions as well. This paper is a continuation of the authors’ previous publications [1], [2], [3] devoted, respectively, to buildings, railway stations and air terminals. x | |||||
Kido, Ewa Maria; Cywinski, Zbigniew | The new steel-glass architecture of railway stations in Japan | Steel Construction | 3/2014 | 208-214 | Report |
KurzfassungThe accelerating needs of communication have led to many modern railway stations made of steel and glass being built or upgraded all over the world during the last two decades. That trend, influenced by local architectural traditions, is clearly evident in Japan, too. This paper, focusing on that trend, is a continuation of the authors’ previous publication [1]. x | |||||

Neugebauer, Erich; Fromberger, Thomas; Chesser, David; Meyer, Veronica | The Ontario Line, another milestone in developing Toronto's public transit system | Geomechanics and Tunnelling | 2/2023 | 161-166 | Topics |
KurzfassungThe new Ontario Line is one of four priority transit projects announced by the province of Ontario in 2019 for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). It will be a 15.6 km stand-alone rapid transit line that will run through the city from Exhibition/Ontario Place in the southwest, through the heart of downtown Toronto, all the way to the Ontario Science Centre in the northeast. Over half of the route (9 km) is planned to run underground through new tunnels, with the remainder running along elevated and at-grade rail corridor sections of track. Fifteen new stations are proposed, whereby eight are planned as deep underground structures. Most of these underground stations will be built in the downtown core, with numerous connections to the broader transit network of the GTA, including GO Transit rail services, the Toronto Transit Commission's (TTC) existing subway Lines 1 and 2, the Line 5 (Eglinton Crosstown LRT) currently under construction, as well as numerous bus and streetcar routes. The expected project benefits of Ontario Line are as follows: x | |||||
