Urban tunneling - the challenges of creating underground space in historic cities
Mon 8 November 2021
Department of Chemistry
A lecture by Professor Giulia Viggiani, Professor of Infrastructure Geotechnics, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge
The fourth talk in a series of lectures organised by the Cambridge Philosophical Society in the Michaelmas term 2021
Abstract: Contracts T2 and T3 of the new Line C of Roma underground are under construction in the historical centre of the city, in an area of great archaeological, historical and artistic value. Significant problems connected to the presence of archaeological remnants, the geotechnical characteristics of the soil, excavation below the water table, and the necessity of minimising the effects on the historical and monumental heritage subsist. This presentation illustrates the methods adopted to evaluate the effects of tunnelling and open excavation on the existing monuments and historical buildings, with particular reference to contract T2.
