  No. 7 Subway Extension Underpinning and Construction Under the 8th Ave. Subway

  The lecture describes a combination of underpinning and other construction methods used for the No. 7 Subway Line Extension under the existing 8th Avenue subway. Construction and underpinning methods were developed to address numerous engineering challenges, actual structure constraints, and geotechnical field conditions. Combinations of mini-piles, steel framing and concrete supports were used to ensure structural integrity, safe and efficient construction, and uninterrupted subway service.
  
  The lecture includes:
  
  • History of the existing station complex.
  • Existing structure condition and deteriorations.
  • Some of the repairs that were made during previous station rehabilitation.
  • Structural design challenges associated with the design of No. 7 subway extension under the 42nd Street subway station structure.
