The Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T) in Boston, Massachusetts,
is the largest urban highway construction project in the history of
the interstate system. The magnitude and complexity of the project,
set in the variable and difficult subsurface conditions of the
350-year-old city, have required engineers to develop unique and
innovative solutions. These papers discuss the various testing
programs undertaken to answer technical questions related to design
and construction of the Central Artery/ Tunnel Project in Boston.
The technical issues discussed include: dewatering and injection
testing; load testing of deep rock-socketed drilled shafts;
evaluating various test methods for determining shear strength of
marine clay; assessing effectiveness of different methods of
grouting to pre-stabilize ground beneath railroad tracks prior to
tunnel jacking; determining capacity of deeply anchored, tension
elements to resist hydrostatic uplift on boat and tunnel
structures; and evaluating different means for instrumenting old
subway tunnels to evaluate impacts of overhead excavation. Although
the tests were specific to the CA/T project, their results have
much wider implications for geotechnical design in many other
situations.
