Abstract
Discussions of basic design philosophy and comparison of alternative contract bid options are presented. Also discussed are descriptions of field monitoring activities with respect to the construction methods, ground response, installation of materials and their performance. Finally, conclusions are reached relative to the NATM philosophy as applied to this project and its place as a design process within the context of United States underground construction practice.
