The principles of underground excavation design are given. Different design methods will be discussed e.g. New Austrian Tunnelling Method, convergence confinement method, US steel arch design method. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods are compared. In order to design underground openings analytical and numerical solutions are presented. The effect of rock bolts, shotcrete lining, steel arches are discussed and analytical and numerical solutions are given. The theoretical knowledge is then used to solve practical examples.
