Causes of defects in subway tunnels, their influence on the operational condition and remedy methods

Problem. The most important task in the field of construction and operation subway tunnels is to solve issue assessing their technical condition. Timely detection, objective assessment development process damage defects underground structures timely elimination are key successful long-term operation. Goal. goal find causes destruction elements for analysis gaining experience prevention methods elimination. Methodology. operating subways shows that destructive processes often occur structures, which not immediately visible during supervision. Therefore, real condition building revealed already emergency conditions. To prevent this, it necessary clearly understand nature at an early stage eliminate them a manner. Results. Considering geotechnological human factor great importance modern Originality. Studies more common destructions load-bearing confirm difficulty predicting possible lead situations. Practical value. During subways, take into account hidden structures.
