The price of the full set of DARTS reports (2 paper volumes and the CD Ron) is EUR 297,50, including 19% VAT. You can order a set of DARTS reports by transferring the amount due to Rabobank, PO Box 333, 2800 AH Gouda, The Netherlands, IBAN NL37 RABO 0307 2722 06, SWIFT-adress RABONL2U, bank account number: 30.72.72.206 CUR, Gouda - The Netherlands with reference "DARTS reports" and your VAT-number.

The CD-ROM contains all reports as developed in the DARTS project. Totally 44 volumes describe the work performed and all results obtained. The Comprehensive Decision Tool (report R5.1) describes the DARTS Integrated (Re)Design Methodology. The methodology is exemplified in Integrated Design Examples (report R5.2). These two reports are available as paper copies as well. This CD-ROM contains also the proceedings of the 1st International Symposium ‘Safe and Reliable Tunnels - Innovative European Achievements’, Prague, 4-6 Feb 2004, which was jointly organised by the European RTD projects DARTS, FIT and UPTUN. All reports are listed in connection to the 6 technical workpackages.
