The purpose of deformation monitoring for the evaluation of the stability of underground openings is reviewed briefly and some results from laboratory tests of small tunnels are presented. The ground behaviour is described by comparison with the response of structural systems and illustrated by the data from the testing of small tunnels. It is concluded that the main objective of a deformation monitoring system for stability evaluation is to determine the actual process of deformation and instability in the area surrounding the opening. Only when this process has been established is it possible to use deformation measurements to design support systems or to improve construction or mining procedures. Present monitoring practice is not sufficiently orientated toward the aim of process description.
