Abstract
The Hatch Mott MacDonald / Bechtel Joint Venture (HMM/Bechtel) team is designer and construction manager for the 5.25-mile Central Area Guideway (Tunnel Segment) of the overall 16.1-mile Silicon Valley Rapid Transit (SVRT) Project. This proposed project extends the existing Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system southward from Fremont to San Jose. The Tunnel Segment includes twin bored tunnels, mined cross passages, deep excavations for three underground stations, two portals, and two ventilation structures, situated in an area with highly variable subsurface ground soils, high seismicity, shallow ground water table, and within a dense urban setting with high-rise buildings adjacent to the largest excavation. This paper discusses the seismic analysis and design of the cut-and-cover structures of the SVRT project.
