Title:
Abstract:	Pressure shafts, due to their complexity and length, are one of the most challenging parts of the headrace system of a high head hydropower plant. Pressure shafts offer great potential for optimisation and this has to be reflected in their design and construction. The article first describes most common system concepts for headrace systems. Then it introduces the graphical-analytical design method from Seeber in its main features and uses this as a basis for understanding the mode of action of common lining systems. Finally, the common mechanised heading methods are briefly discussed in terms of their areas of application depending on the expected ground behaviour with a qualitative risk assessment of their feasibility. Kraftabstiege gehören gemessen an Komplexität, Längenerstreckung und Anpassungsmöglichkeiten an die Gegebenheiten vor Ort zu den anspruchsvollsten Anlageteilen von Hochdruckanlagen. Sie bergen ein entsprechendes Optimierungspotenzial und erfordern eine entsprechend hohe Beachtung bei der Planung und Ausführung. Der Beitrag geht zunächst auf die gebräuchlichsten Anlagenkonzepte ein, stellt anschließend das graphisch-analytische Bemessungsverfahren nach Seeber in seinen Grundzügen vor und nutzt dieses als Basis für das Verständnis der Wirkungsweise gängiger Auskleidungssysteme. Abschließend werden die gängigen mechanischen Vortriebsverfahren hinsichtlich ihrer Einsatzgebiete kurz erläutert und in Abhängigkeit des erwarteten Gebirgsverhaltens einer qualitativen Risikobetrachtung hinsichtlich ihrer Einsatzeignung unterzogen.
