Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0498786A2] Method for limiting subsidence on the surface during the excavation of an underground cavity extending longitudinally, especially a tunnel, as a result of the eruption of material, such as loose rock, earth or the like. In this, as early as before the eruption of the material, as a result of stress rearrangements, a rock support ring is formed in that uplifts of the material are brought about, for example by an increase in volume, in the two lateral regions of the cavity to be produced, the so-called tunnel side walls. <IMAGE>
