Abstract
Currently excavation and support determination for underground projects is mainly
based on experience, supplemented by simplified models and calculations. There are no
standardized procedures, making it difficult to technically review or audit designs, collect, evaluate and compare data from different sites and designs. In this paper the step-by-step procedure outlined in the Guideline for Geomechanical Design of Underground Structures (OeGG, 2001) is briefly introduced and its application shown. The guideline does not prescribe certain techniques for design, but rather describes the single tasks to be performed during design and their appropriate sequence, promoting an engineering approach. The techniques applied should be appropriate to the project, the phase of the project, the rock mass types expected, and the boundary conditions. After some three years of effectiveness of the guideline a review seems to be appropriate if the targets set out have been reached, and where the problems in the application showed
