ABSTRACT
The “geotechnical design of underground structures” can be described as the design dealing with the interaction between the ground and the structure. With focus on an economic construction according to its pre-defined specifications the geotechnical design mainly covers the design of the excavation and the primary support but also additional measures such as lowering of the ground water level or injections to change the ground properties. Generally the geotechnical design includes all aspects, which deal with the ground interactions.
