Abstract
During the construction of tunnels, the system behaviors derived from the design are verified
and updated by absolute displacement monitoring. Advanced evaluation methods of the monitoring data enable detecting the influence of geological features on the rock mass behavior around the tunnel. Displacement data from Alpine tunnels were analyzed in correlation with the geological structure. The influences of the geological features (orientation of the joint sets and their strength properties) and fault zones on the deformation behavior of the tunnel were investigated. The monitoring data were compared to the results of the numerical simulations of the tunnel excavation in rock masses with two joint sets with UDEC
