Abstract
Tunneling is an exciting combination of science, art and professional skill and is the ultimate implementation of ground-structure interaction. The ground, be it soil or rock, is an integral part of the tunnel structure and plays a key role in resisting the loads created by excavating the tunnel. This paper discusses seven of the most critical design considerations for tunnel lining design and construction; namely ground conditions, ground-liner interaction, thrust-moment interaction, tunnel geometry, tunneling method, construction monitoring and initial versus final lining. Given below are discussions about each of these considerations.
