These two things depend greatly on the excavation method and the construction stages defined during the design process. This paper describes the construction stages of three metro stations (two stations in Warsaw and one in Paris) and discusses their advantages and disadvantages including among other things its impact on neighbouring infrastructure and the city’s traffic. An important conclusion drawn from this analysis is that the shape of the slabs used can considerably affect the design and the construction stages. For example, a vaulted top slab allows an almost immediate traffic restoration and a vaulted bottom raft allows a much shorter dewatering period.}, type={Article}, title={An application of reinforced concrete vaulted slabs and rafts in deep excavation works}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/120630/04_ACE-00177_A4.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ace.2021.138043}, keywords={metro station construction, urban construction, construction stages, soil-structure interaction, diaphragm wall, vaulted slab, deep excavation}, }
