Abstract
In this chapter, the main methods used to study the interaction between the ground and the stabilization and lining measures (“structure”) are described. The different methods described are: the Rabcewicz method; the method of hyperstatic reactions; some simplified methods able to assess the loads acting on the lining (vertical loads, horizontal load, inclined loads, loads in case of tunnel under groundwater table); the different methods that can be used while utilizing radial nailing (method of confinement pressure, homogenization method, modelling of the cross section with continuum discretization methods), spiling or forepoling; the methods to calculate the minimum number of elements able to stabilize the face; the characteristic lines method to evaluate the suitability of a lining by means of an analysis that takes into account the ground-structure interaction and numerical methods. At the end of this chapter, the seismic effects on the underground work behaviour are considered.
