Numerical Modelling of Overburden Deformations

Abstract

This paper focuses on the application and verification of mathematical models of the effect of supporting measures on the reduction of overburden deformations. The study of the behaviour of the models is divided into three parts: reduction of the tunnelling effects on the Minorit monastery by means of a jet-grouting curtain; the behaviour of the Hvížďalka backfilled tunnel and a numerical analysis of the supporting measures affecting the tunnel deformations of the Mrázovka tunnel in Prague.
