Abstract:

Subway underground excavation work with cut-and cover method, particularly the transportation of construction material, equipment, and muck, is greatly affected by construction conditions aboveground. The appropriateness of the method used for this work is a major factor in the progressing of construction. Traffic in urban areas has become increasingly heavy, which makes it difficult to set up a system for the direct transportation of things between the road surface and work sites underground. As a result, things are usually transported vertically along shafts at fixedacces points and then horizontally along levels to the work sites.
