| Abstract | Three San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) projects and two Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) projects are analyzed with respect to time schedules, costs, and sensitivity to physical and institutional controls. These data are utilized in developing generalized models of four specific types of underground construction: cut-and-cover station, cut-and-cover line, free-air-driven tunnel, and compressed-air-driven tunnel. The models presented herein are a planning tool for evaluation of the alternative types of underground construction in a transit system with respect to local costs and physical and institutional controls. Possible future tunneling cost-reduction techniques and recommendations for further research are made. |
