A Possible Tunnels Execution Technology on Subsection E2 of the Highway A1

Abstract

Abstract The paper aims to establish the design elements of the tunnels to be executed on subsection E2 of the Lugoj-Deva highway section, an integral part of the A1 highway. From the multitude of problems related to the execution of a tunnel, the paper investigates the following aspects: geotechnical investigations of the areas to be crossed by tunnels, analysis of tunnel stability, static checks of the final support/lining and, finally, a possible technology for their execution.
