Je größer solche Projekte angelegt sind, desto unwahrscheinlicher ist es, dass die In‐situ‐Bodenverhältnisse homogen und verfahrenstechnisch eindeutig sind. Beim maschinellen Tunnelbau im Schildvortrieb ist der Baugrund der entscheidende Faktor für die Auswahl und die Effizienz des Bauverfahrens. Eine eindeutige Differenzierung zwischen dem Einsatzbereich eines Erddruckschilds und eines Hydroschilds nur auf Grundlage der Kornverteilung des Baugrunds ist heute kaum noch möglich. Eine Verschiebung des Einsatzbereichs von Hydroschilden in den Feinkornbereich ist ebenso möglich wie die Erweiterung des Einsatzbereichs der Erddruckschilde in grobkörniges Lockergestein. In diesem Beitrag erläutern die Autoren ausgewählte geologische Situationen, die für den Einsatz von Erddruckschilden eine besondere Herausforderung darstellen können. Exemplarisch sind dies überkonsolidierte bindige Böden, stark durchlässige nichtbindige Böden sowie Sedimentfestgesteine bzw. Bereiche mit gemischter Ortsbrust aus Fest‐ und Lockergestein. Es werden Untersuchungsmethoden und Hilfsmittel für die Planung und Begleitung von Schildvortrieben vorgestellt.</p> </abstract> … (more)
