Summary

The subject is the subject of follow-up to get together geotechnical knowledge of rock cutting, punching and reinforcement technology underground work and other disciplines. Apart from issues of basic design parameters underground construction (size, shape) deals mainly with issues modern methods of tunnels and caverns, supporting and evaluating their geological environment. Considerable attention is paid to the excavation of tunnels in difficult natural conditions (TBM, shield tunneling, jacking, mikrotuneling etc.). Subject closely related to the subject of "Mechanics of Underground Structures".
