Abstract: The High Speed 2 (HS2) scheme in UK is envisaged to include more than 62km of its route in tunnels. In order to address public concern about the impacts of tunnelling, data have been collected on ground movements and ground-borne noise and vibrations. This paper describes a series of case studies of ground movements due to underground construction and ground-borne noise and vibration from a...
Abstract: High Speed Two (HS2) is a new £56 billion ($67 billion) high speed (alignment for 400 km/hr) railway which will form a “spine” of a reshaped rail network providing an engine for growth and connecting eight out of the top ten regions within Great Britain. There are about 60km of twin bore (11 tunnels) and 11km of (17 tunnels) cut-and-cover tunnels along the HS2 route. This paper describes the...
Abstract: The High Speed Two (HS2) railway is currently the largest planned infrastructure project in Europe. For the design of high speed rail tunnels additional aerodynamic aspects need to be taken into account where standards & requirements are currently being developed worldwide in order to ensure the design meets environmental & performance requirements. Underground structures form a...
